Gingerbread

It is a traditions for Fi and I to make gingerbread cookies for our classes each year at Christmastime. This year we have three classes to bake for. So, after putting the kids to bed tonight I mixed up a double batch of gingerbread dough a la Anna Olsen.

If you are not a FoodTV junkie, Anna Olsen is a pastry chef who creates the most amazingly delicious treats. My absolute favourite food group - dessert. The best part of this recipe is that it uses fresh ginger. The flavour is a whole different level than dried ginger.

Tomorrow after dinner it is time to roll, cut and bake. This step requires a group effort and Fi needs to be involved. I can't wait to taste them when they come out of the oven.
