    Gingerbread Cookies

    The making of gingerbread cookies came to be a Christmas tradition before we realised it. They are really good iced with a thin icing of powdered sugar and water. This recipe also works if you pat it into a cookie sheet for a gingerbread slice (ice with the same thin glaze).

  • Sesame Whole-Wheat Bread

    I've been experimenting with different bread recipes.  They all have tasted good (can fresh bread taste poorly?), but a good texture has been tough to find - usually too crumbly.  I've found a recipe that holds up and thought I'd share it.  It's from a book called "The Bread Bible" by Beth Hensperger.

    Roggesbrood (Rye Bread)

    We don’t know why this bread is called Roggesbrood, the Dutch word for rye bread (the recipe calls for cracked wheat flour), but we do know why it has become a family treat--caraway cheese or peanut butter make excellent toppings.  Although finding cracked wheat flour in our part of the U.S. has been a challenge, Canadian stores are more accommodating.

  • Swedish Limpa Bread

    This is a recipe John made during his medical school days.  It goes really well with creamy soup or with chunks of cheese when hiking.  Since it is a braided bread, chunks are broken off from the loaf instead of being sliced.
