Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basLike most people, I was once intimidated by the thought of making my own bread. It's a lengthy process and (presumably) easy to flub, but I come from a long line of German women who make fantastic brrrrread from scratch all the time (and yes, it's important to roll the "r" or it doesn't count) so defeat is not an option.

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basMy Grandmother has made these cookies for as long as I can remember. The honey-sweetness paired with the tangy zip of jam makes this the perfect afternoon snack with tea! Or coffee. Or booze. Really, these are amazing with any bevvie - I shouldn't discriminate.

As in, "if you say no to us, we'll just ask that other country and...
