[Sca-cooks] Redaction exercise

[Ana Valdés]

Johnna I lived in Gotland in the Baltic Sea in Sweden one year and the
island was a part of the Hansa League ruled by the German cities. They took
to Visby, in Gotland, anise, star anise and vanilla. Gotland is the only
place in Sweden you can eat vanilla pancakes, the islands speciality,
direct from the Middle Ages.
