Best Cinnamon Rolls with Not Quite Nigella

My love for cinnamon rolls is quite fresh. I’d say we’re still in the honeymoon phase. My eyes light up when I see them and I get butterflies in my stomach when I think about them. I first fell in love with them in Canada, earlier this year. I can’t believe we didn’t meet earlier. I spotted a huge sign near a café where we were living that read ‘Fresh Gooey Cinnamon Rolls’.

The rolls were soft and the gooey, sugary cinnamon sauce that was swirled between the bread was made for the sweet cream cheese icing that coated them. It was a good gooey! If you haven’t tried a cinnamon roll then you need to change that ASAP. I made a batch of 16 a few days ago and there are only three left…. Whoops!

But I really enjoy the experience of food and wine matching, when flavours are paired perfectly together and you’re presented with a more substantial meal. So I was excited to discover that the Capital Wines cellar door offers epicurean tastings of matched wine and food on weekends. Continue reading Capital Wines Epicurean Tastings
