Salted Butter Chocolate Chunks Shortbread Cookies - Photography: Yolene Dabreteau
How was your week? I saw there is some very cold weather (and snow?!) on the way this part of the world next week. I hope you are all preparing for it well with food, warm clothes and cosy things to do. In the meantime, here is a series of links for you to enjoy this Saturday:
- Something interesting: a good excuse for planning a trip to London.

- Something delicious: after hearing so much about those salted butter chocolate chunks shortbread
cookies, I made a batch and nearly ate everything (believe the hype here, they are wonderful).

- Some other delicious thing: I made more of this chocolate rice pudding with poached pear and hazelnut praline.

- A book: I devoured this incredible book about food by Ruby Tandoh (I might even re-read it, which is something I rarely do - this is how much I enjoyed it).

- A song: I listened to this young French singer's beautiful songs on repeat.

- A TV series: we finally started watching the tv series based on novel The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood (which I had read last year and highly recommend adding to your reading list if you haven't yet). We are only on episode 3 so far and it is such an incredible adaptation of the book.

The cookies look delicious! Wish I was there to have one with you. Frank keeps telling me to watch Handmaid's Tale, but I haven't yet.

And I wish you were here to have one with me too! As for the Handmaid's Tale, I highly recommend reading it first and yes, the tv series is really good!

Those cookies look so wonderful. As we inch towards Autumn, cookies are sounding better and better. :-)

They will be perfect once the weather cools down; I would make them all year long but having lived in Australia, I know that cold refreshing desserts are often more appropriate this time of year :)
