The true story of gingerbread
The legend of Elisen gingerbread takes us to where the pepper grows, the clove trees scent the air, nutmeg blossoms, and cinnamon and cardamom exude their healing powers. Following in the footsteps of this unique Christmas biscuit, you’ll journey back to the beginnings of the spice trade.

You’ll sail through adventures and, from the belly of a sailing ship, witness the competition between the spices: which has greater flavour and healing power, which is more valuable? Which is more popular? Time is of the essence, for the master baker from Nuremberg wants to cure his sick daughter Elise. Will he find the right ingredient amongst the sugar and cinnamon, allspice, almonds and nuts?
