Gingerbread Gift

OUR GIFT TO YOU THIS WEEK ONLY with every order of $100 or more.

As a child, my mum would make "gingerbread" people out of shortcrust pastry offcuts from pies she'd made. Around the age of six I had the unfortunate experience of being given real gingerbread. It was spicy. Who, in their right mind, I wondered, wanted a hot biscuit?

As far as I was concerned it was awful.

Perhaps it is experiences like this that lead me to my response when my junior recipe testers tell me they don't like some food item. "Don't be ridiculous," is my predictable reply.

Because, at the age of six, I was being ridiculous. Gingerbread is a thing of joy. The junior recipe testers have no such inhibitions. At a recent photo shoot these had to be hidden as the juniors kept ploughing through them. BEFORE the photos had been taken.

This gingerbread is nothing like the packaged ginger biscuits you might purchase from a large supermarket chain and promptly break every tooth in your head trying to eat. It is buttery, spicy and, quite frankly, delicious. 

Perfect for gifting. Even better for eating.
