About A Pinch of Cinnamon
Cinnamon has been treasured for thousands of years, carried along ancient trade routes and prized in kitchens from Cairo to colonial New England. A single cinnamon stick unfurls a whole world of warmth: mulled cider on a cold afternoon, a dusting of nutmeg over custard, the first breath of clove in a freshly baked apple pie. These are the spices that make a house smell like home.
