Ginger Bread Cook Book

The term gingerbread can refer to all manner of moist cakes, sweet loaves and hard biscuits. The most common ingredients include ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, honey, treacle, dates, sugar and cloves. Ginger was originally used medicinally to settle upset stomachs, so biscuits and cookies were soon being sold in pharmacies, as well as monasteries and markets. By the end of the 18th century, gingerbread was extremely popular in towns like Market Drayton in Shropshire.
