OHHH Lebkuchen!!! That’s the taste of my childhood growing up in Germany! And YES!!! I actually have an original home made recipe, thanks to a Bavarian friend who shared her family recipe with me (hand written), handed down by generations of good Bavarian women!

The BBC did a programme about Hildegarde of Bingen years ago. It prompted me to buy a cassette of her music (yes, that long ago!). It may still be available somewhere. I believe Patricia Routledge took the lead.
