Nancy's Shortbread
Nancy's shortbread recipe is a family institution. It is sublimely buttery and perfectly crumbly. Handmade shortbread biscuits? Bliss!
Now aged 89, Melissa's Nan - who shared the recipe - continues to bake a batch for each of her family at Christmas time, presented with love, in a tissue-lined tin.

Nutella Slice
Hazelnuts are a low GI food source and the addition of oats is perfect for energy. Nutella is made with skim milk and has no artificial colours or preservatives. My kids adore it.
