A tender, quite moist gingerbread from Nigella. |
Gingerbread is Christmas, right? Maybe New Year's Day? Certainly a cold-weather dessert. Except that I love it. I'd eat it in July if I were willing to turn the oven on. Which I'm not.* So that's why it's April and there's Nigella Lawson's gorgeous Guinness Gingerbread on the blog. (Two "n's" and two "s's" in Guinness--tells you alot about how much I know about Guinness. I did tour the brewery in Dublin once and actually drank a tall one.) If you've been following along on this trip, I've joined a group of great food bloggers who are each week cooking, testing, and writing about one of
Gourmet Live's 50 Women Game-Changers. And, you guessed it, this week (number 44) is Nigella's week--I'm so grateful. After all, I needed a reason to make gingerbread in the spring. Didn't I? (Cold and nasty in St. Paul today after a great, warm spring. I was happy to have a warm kitchen.)
*I have just installed a combination microwave/convection oven above my range. This may help with summer baking. More later!
