MARK GILLETTE IN MANCHESTER

After a career as an art therapist, interior designer Mark Gillette set up an international design business in the United Kingdom that spans from Cheshire to parts of Europe.  It has certainly paid off.

Gillette's Manchester flat, which is in the Burton Building, is an art-deco-designed home that resembles a period house. ENJOY!

I hope that you have enjoyed visiting this beautiful home.

I took my daughter back to school today after her visit during the Christmas holidays.  As with all of you, family is number one for me, and my children come before everything else, so you will have to excuse my lack of comments and presence for the last few weeks. I will soon be back full force!

See you soon,

House and Garden, UK - February Issue

PUNITIONS (FRENCH SHORTBREAD COOKIE)

MAKES ABOUT 60 SMALL COOKIES

Ingredients

10 tbsp. unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup sugar

1 egg

2 cups flour

In a bowl, use a hand mixer on medium speed to beat together butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, 2—3 minutes. Add egg and beat until smooth. Add flour and mix on low speed until just combined. Transfer dough to a work surface and form into a ball; halve ball and form each half into a flat disk. Wrap disks separately in plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, 1 hour.

Heat oven to 350º. Transfer one disk to a lightly floured work surface; using a rolling pin, roll out to 1/4″ thickness. Using a 1 1/2″ round or fluted cookie cutter, cut out rounds and transfer to parchment paper-lined baking sheets, spacing them 1″ apart; repeat with remaining dough disk. Bake, rotating baking sheets top to bottom and front to back halfway through cooking, until cookies are set but not browned, 8—10 minutes. Let cool before serving.
