Each Shortbread entry has its special story, but this year’s first place winner in the Traditional Shortbread category, Doris MacCallum, was not in attendance when the Judges announced the winners on Saturday. When called, Cathy MacCallum shared that she had made and entered her Mother-in-law’s shortbread recipe in her honor as Doris had passed away last January. Doris’ father (a Paterson) had been a baker in Aberdeen, Scotland, before immigrating to the US. He inspired her love of baking. It was Doris’ tradition to make everyone in the family her shortbread each Christmas. During a recent family gathering in Doris’ honor in Big Fork, MT, families shared how they cherished her act of love and horded the delicious offering every year. Doris’ offspring resulted in many great cooks in the family, including celebrated chef granddaughters on each coast who referred to Doris in articles written about them regarding their own skills. Doris’ shortbread legacy lives on.
