Czech Gingerbread Kolache

A delicious European Christmas cookies inspired by the kolaches in Prague. A soft gingerbread base filled with poppy seeds and topped with a buttery streusel.

Sometimes I’m amazed at the taste memories that stick with me long after I travel. Some of them are expected: fish and chips in London, Peking duck in Beijing, tapas in Barcelona. Other times, I’m caught by surprise when I’m still thinking about certain foods months or years after tasting them. These Czech gingerbread kolache are

During my junior year of college, I spent a semester studying in Toulouse, France. There were a few Canadian students in our study abroad group, and with the advantage of French as their first language, they seemed to figure out the city much quicker than we did. It took us three days to get our

Brown Butter Pumpkin Madeleines

Brown Butter Pumpkin Madeleines | www.thehungrytravelerblog.com

I unabashedly love pumpkin. Fall is my favorite time of the year and a major reason is because pumpkin is back in season. While I only drink one or two pumpkin spice lattes per year, I could eat pumpkin muffins, cookies, rolls, cakes, and other baked goods every single day. A few weeks back, I shared my
