Ah, the aroma of cinnamon. Can there be winter holidays without it? In everything from mulled wine, to spice cakes, to beef stew (yes, really!), the scent of cinnamon evokes snowy days, nights in front of the fireplace, and gatherings of family and friends. Cinnamon is considered a "warm" spice, but really good cinnamon has a bit of a peppery undertone. Do you remember the difference between cinnamon and cassia? (Hint: it's all in the quills.) Which do you prefer?

Cinnamon: like or dislike?

Last week: Microplane grater. Universal adoration for this basic kitchen tool. I hope you find one under your tree this holiday season.
