Kransekaker – a Scandinavian almond cake

Takes me back to my seafaring times with Scandinavian cruise ships many years ago. Kransekaker Is usually eaten on special occasions such as weddings, baptisms, Christmas, 17th of May or New Year’s Eve.

Oma’s Christmas Cookies

Christmas cookies can trace their history to Medieval Europe, when many modern ingredients such as cinnamon, ginger, black pepper and almonds were introduced into the west. By the 16th century Christmas biscuits had become popular across Europe, with Lebkuchen being favored in Germany.

Gingerbread Houses

The tradition of making decorated gingerbread houses started in Germany in the early 1800s. According to certain researchers, the first gingerbread houses were the result of the well-known Grimm‘s fairy tale “Hansel and Gretel”. After this book was published, German bakers began baking ornamented fairy-tale houses of lebkuchen (gingerbread).
