All right, it's 8EST, so welcome officially to the December meeting of Eden Cooks! We're obviously featuring gingerbread, which can be made many different ways, from a moist cake to something that's more a building material than a food. The recipe I will be sharing is sturdy enough to be structural, but it still smells and tastes wonderful, so it's a pretty good split down the middle. Ytou can build a house that will stand up two weeks... but you can still eat the scraps
Since gingerbread dough needs to chill for a while, I made some Lemon Zest Sandwich Cookies and a sidecar at the same time. So you get three recipes in one this month, and all using the same delicious citrus.
Be sure to stick around til the end, because there will be five $10 EF gift cards given out to participants!
Before refrigeration, citrus fruits were only available to the northern part of the United States during December. So lots of holiday recipes feature citrus really strongly---they were the delicacy of the month!
