Cinnamon recipes
Sweet cinnamon is brilliant used in baking, adding a warmth that pairs so well with sugar. Try Gail’s ever popular cinnamon buns, babka, ice cream or doughnuts.
The spice (procured from the bark of the Cinnamomum family of trees) is also a delicious addition to savoury dishes, like our massaman curry, meatball tagine or as the crucial ingredient in Greek moussaka.
