    • Gastronomía

Just in time for the winter holidays, we’re talking about the quintessential holiday cookie: gingerbread. First, we take a bite out of the history of gingerbread with Tori Avey (who wrote all about the history of gingerbread). Then, Pay Chen interviews famed pastry chef Anna Olson about the ebb and flow of gingerbread trends, and her professional opinion on the key to the *perfect* recipe. Finally, we end with Regina-based chef Dickie Yuzicapi who owns Sioux Chef Catering and has been putting an Indigenous spin on this traditional holiday cookie for decades.
