Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they are fluffy. Slowly add the sugar, whilst still beating. Chop the ginger and mix it carefully through the egg white mixture. Put a sheet of baking paper on an oven tray. Form nice heaps of the mixture with a spoon and put them on the paper. Chop the almonds very small and sprinkle them on top of the meringues. Put them in the oven at 120 degrees for one hour; turn the heat down to fifty degrees and leave them for another 6 hours inside the oven.

Knead the butter, sugar and flour and a pinch of salt together and divide the dough in two equal parts. Add the cacao to one part. Put the dough in the fridge for half an hour. Roll both the white and the brown dough into two long thin rolls, so you have four rolls. Lay a brown and a white one together and push softly with your hand until they stick. Put a brown one on top of the white and a white one on top of the brown. Now cut slices and put them on the oven tray. Bake 20 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius.
