Rose Ginger Lemon Syrup

Still smelling of the Jameson Distillery tour, we ambled to the park just outside the factory gates in Midleton and unwrapped our lunches. We'd run to the English Market in Cork that morning and loaded up at the Salad + Sandwich Bar (I swear, some of the best sandwiches I've ever eaten) and then grabbed drinks at a little organic stall further down the alley.

Moravian Spice Cookies

The last time I went to fancy food section of a department store, I swear I saw Moravian Spice Cookies in nice holiday gift tins. I didn’t eat them growing up, and I don’t have any other cookbooks that reference them, so I was intrigued by their inclusion in Alice Medrich’s Cookies and Brownies. I always wondered where Moravia was and what made these cookies Moravian, so this would be my chance to find out.

Lemon Ginger Wafers

In the Cookie Classics section of Cookies and Brownies, there are two lemon wafer recipes. Lemon wafers have always evoked springtime for me - bright, sunny flavors, a clean spicy scent, and delicate like a little tuft of cake. These lemon ginger wafers are no exception - the freshly shaved ginger and the tangy lemon zest dance about your mouth and marry with sugar for crisp buttery edges.

That is, once you get them baked.

Rhubarb Rose Bitters

This bitters recipe is completely original – and is a real experiment. Todd added the essential things to make it bitter, but it will take a little while before we know if the experiment is a success or not!

From our first tastes and smells, the results are wonderful.
