A Gourmet Thyme Too

The three dimensional flavor of this shortbread is terrific on its own, but you can also dress it up as a special hours d'oeuvre. A teaspoon of creme fraiche, a thin slice of smoked salmon and a lemon peel garnish is all it takes.

The chocolate and coffee combination reaches a new level as tiny nibs of unprocessed cacao beans are combined with the finest espresso. They will satisfy your craving with a delicious crunch.

This shortbread offers a superb nutty complement. Dress it up with a soft blue cheese, use fresh goat cheese topped with a diced mango and chive, or switch it out as a small side for dessert.
