Judy Murray serves up recipe for Best Beginnings

Judy Murray, tennis coach, superstar Strictly Come Dancing contestant and mother of tennis stars Andy and Jamie Murray has contributed her mother Shirley's shortbread recipe for a recipe book in aid of Best Beginnings.

The recipe book is being put together by Angela Dale, Lady Captain at Rochford Hundred Golf Club in Essex. Each year the Lady Captain chooses a charity for which, during her year, she raises funds. Angela chose Best Beginnings and hopes to raise £7000 from selling the recipe book.

It will be full of recipes that mean something to someone. Judy's mum's shortbread is a family favourite and during her days in Strictly Come Dancing last year she baked it every week for her fellow celebrity contestants and dancers to enjoy!

Thanks so much to Angela and Judy!
