While lebkuchen is often translated to English as gingerbread, it’s not exactly what most Americans envision when they think of gingerbread. Sure, it belongs to the category of baked goods flavored with spices like cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg and sweetened with honey, molasses or sugar. But unlike a crisp gingerbread man cookie, lebkuchen is soft, dense, and often nutty, with a texture somewhere between a cake and a cookie. Now in our 10th year, Leckerlee is a seasonal baking business specializing in making authentic Nuremberg lebkuchen in small batches using the highest quality ingredients and time-honored techniques. Leckerlee founder Sandy Lee lived in Berlin from 2009 to 2011, and it was at a Christmas Market there that she first encountered lebkuchen. She quickly became obsessed with learning how to make it. With that in mind, she toured around Germany, visiting Christmas markets and esteemed Nuremberg lebkuchen purveyors to sample their wares. Once she had perfected her recipe, she moved back to NYC to start Leckerlee in 2011.
