Spices, cocoa, and honey: the scent of Czech Christmas gingerbread

Behind the doors of a small workshop in Velvary, near Prague, simple ingredients are transformed into soft, delicious gingerbread. Gingerbread maker Kateřina develops her own recipes and shows that gingerbread can be more than just a Christmas classic. She seeks a balance between tradition and new flavours, and encourages everyone to create their own spice blend. Step inside her workshop with us and discover how to make the best gingerbread, and how modern gingerbread desserts are being reimagined.
