Written about

Why Sweden gave the cinnamon bun its own dayKanelbullens dag was invented in 1999 by a council that sells flour and sugar. It is now in the almanac, which is a faster naturalisation than most real traditions manage.
Sourdough instead of commercial yeastIt is slower, less predictable and harder to schedule around. What it actually delivers is narrower than the internet claims and better than the sceptics allow.
Pearl sugar, and where to get it hereIt does not disappear into the bun, which is the whole point, and the usual explanation of why is wrong. It is also easier to buy in Melbourne than its reputation suggests.
