Story:
   Nikki Taylor began her specialty food company over 20 years ago based on a time-honored recipe for shortbread handed down from her grandmother in Blyborough, England.

  Starting out with flavored shortbread cookies, the company has a full line of shortbeads, chocolate layerd cookies and an extensive selection of high-quality holiday cookies.

  While Nikki intends to position her company in the specialty food and gift markets, here products are also welcomed in health-food stores. Perhaps that's because they are all natural, kosher, and they have no preservatives added.
