Cinnamon Stars
The cinnamon star is found in Switzerland, Austria and Germany. It is another typical Christmas biscuit. Cinnamon stars are sweet almond biscuits with a distinct cinnamon flavour. They are usually coated with a white egg-white sugar icing. Cinnamon stars are said to have existed as early as the 16th century, but as cinnamon was precious, the biscuits were found among the aristocracy. Recipes were not published until the 18th century.

Bircher Muesli
The Bircher muesli was developed by Dr.med. Maximilian Bircher-Benner, he called it “Spys” at that time. He invented the Dr. Bircher grater in 1928 to grate the apples. The simple dish is still used today in the Centre for sientific natural medicine Bircher-Benner as a “dietary dish”, as it has proved its worth. Among other methods, the Centre for sientific natural medicine Bircher-Benner uses a nutritional therapy based on energetically high-quality fresh plant-based food. This is no coincidence, as Dr.med. Maximilian Bircher-Benner shaped the term “wholefood diet”.
