Ben Mims Collection
Food writer Ben Mims says, “Each of these spices has, for centuries, been the focal point of so many cookies around the world. Their aromatic, warming qualities make them ideal for the holidays, especially when mixed together to make the several regional variations of gingerbread-like cookies. Used on their own, each has a distinct bite that cuts through fat and sugar to add a particular liveliness to myriad baked goods. Except for the cinnamon and ginger, each spice is best when ground fresh to release its unique qualities that have captured the love of virtually every culture around the globe since humans started making sweet bites to finish a meal.”
BONUS: With your purchase of this spice collection, we’ll email you a 20% off code for Ben’s fantastic new book, Crumbs: Cookies & Sweets from Around the World, from Phaidon.com. Happy baking!
