Hi everyone! Please meet our Celebrity Home Chef #4, Christine Sapienza, who is sharing her great-grandmother’s family favorite shortbread recipe with us. I have had this and it is dreamy. It also freezes very well (and can be dipped in chocolate!).
The lady with the toaster is not Christine, but a model wearing Chistine’s dress that she designed. A designer AND a shortbread maker? Gifted!
P.S. Remember to send in your recipe and a photo if you would like to be in the next post as a celebrity home chef!
