• About Kris­ten

  What part of liv­ing bliss­fully in New York and own­ing an art gallery didn’t work for me? Well, the part that was trans­ferred to Lon­don with my husband’s job… Five years later, here we are, deliri­ously con­tent to live in the sec­ond great­est city in the world (first? sec­ond?), cook­ing, eat­ing, watch­ing our remark­able daugh­ter bring her­self up in style, and describ­ing it all here, for posterity.

  Lemon Bars

  (makes about 24)

  1 cup but­ter, softened

  1/2 cup white sugar

  2 cups all-purpose flour

  4 eggs

  1 1/2 cups white sugar

  1/4 cup all-purpose flour

  1 tsp lemon essence

  2 lemons, juiced

  In a medium bowl, blend together soft­ened but­ter, 2 cups flour and 1/2 cup sugar, plus the lemon essence. Press into the bot­tom of an ungreased 9x13 inch pan.

  Bake for 15 to 20 min­utes in a 350F/180C ordi­nary oven, or in the hot (425F/220C) oven of your Aga, with a cold tray at the top of the oven,  until firm and golden. In another bowl, whisk together the remain­ing 1 1/2 cups sugar and 1/4 cup flour. Whisk in the eggs and lemon juice, plus the zests. Pour over the baked crust.
