Highland Care Home wins best traditional Shortbread competition

Highland Care Home wins best traditional Shortbread competition

In a heartwarming victory for tradition and taste, David Macdonald, head chef at Crossreach Oversteps Care Home in Dornoch, clinched first place in the best traditional shortbread category at the recent Highland Shortbread Showdown. What makes this win even sweeter is that David achieved this feat using his grandmother’s cherished 80-year-old heirloom recipe.

Oversteps Care Home, represented by David, was the only care home in the competition,  making the win all the more remarkable.

The Manager from Oversteps said “we’re all really pleased with how well David did in the competition.  Oversteps was the only care home represented there, so it was a real boost”

Congratulations to David and the entire team at Oversteps Care Home for this well-deserved recognition!
