Here is a recipe for gingerbread that contains fresh ginger.
I keep ginger in my freezer for general cooking. I can
grate it as needed-with a microplaner. I learned that trick
from Michelle Tam, the author of Nom Nom Paleo. She has a
website and a number of cookbooks centered on a paleo diet.
I was watching a cooking show yesterday when British pastry chef Lorraine Pascal mentioned using crystallized ginger rather than fresh ginger in baking. She thought it had a stronger ginger flavor. Candied ginger still retains that wonderful heat you get from fresh.
Sounds good. I keep ginger in my freezer to microplane as well!
