There’s something I miss about the seasonal weather of the UK or New England, while the winter often seemed long and tiresome the reward of summer was always on the horizon. When summer berries hit the shops and Wimbledon started it was a clear sign that summer had arrived, along with the long evenings and warmer (although albeit sometimes rainy) weather and everyone seemed to a bit of a pep in their step. The best weather in San Francisco falls between September and November meaning July and August don’t hold that same summery feeling, so to recreate a taste of summer I decided to make these shortbread strawberry rounds. The combination of strawberries, cream and shortbread has a distinctly quintessentially British feel and reminded of summers back home.
