A SHARED FAVOURITE

This gluten- free gingerbread recipe has quite a following. It is a favourite of Wellington caterer Ruth Pretty, chef Al Brown and thisNZlife editor Emma Rawson, who has been obsessed with it for years. It’s a “shared” recipe, passing relatively unchanged from person to person because it is so good. It originated with Esther Woollaston, a quilter friend of great cook Mary Biggs (read all about her on page 84) who gave Mary the recipe back in the early 1990s. Find it at thisNZlife.
