Scottish ShortbreadThis is the most famous cookie of Scotland. It’s a must to use pure butter. Traditionally, shortbread contains no other flavor. I’ve been making this recipe since 1970 when I got the recipe in Edinburgh, Scotland. The addition of a small amount of rice flour gives a firmness and crunchiness to the cookie.

Butter and Flour Free Chocolate CakeThis contains chickpeas which might sound strange but actually works really well! It doesn't taste particularly 'chickpea'-like and is still incredibly moist despite having no butter. You can easily make this completely gluten-free by using gluten-free baking powder too.

BLACK FOREST CAKEDeserts are by far our favorite part of a meal. It is also that part of the food universe we just aren't super great at making. So when someone enters the room with say a home made Black Forest Cake, we get a chocolate buzz just looking at it! Black Forest cake is the English names for the German dessert Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte… |

Travel Gingerbread CookiesMake these soft gingerbread cookies to take on your travels if you suffer from travel sickness - the calming effects that ginger has on the stomach should help to relieve the symptoms. Perfect for kids too. They should be lightly golden and still a little soft when you take them out - they will firm up a little as they cool down… |

Berry Smash ShortcakeOriginally meant to be cookies, but too messy to shape, so I poured into an 12 x 8" traybake and cut in squares afterwards! http://hungryjenny.blogspot.com/2010/09/berry-smash-shortcake.html |
