About this ebook
“Filled with classic recipes, creative innovations . . . The world of twice-baked sweets might seem challenging to new bakers, but Marchetti is a good coach.” —Chicago Tribune
Ciao Biscotti is a collection of forty-four authentic biscotti from Italian cooking expert Domenica Marchetti. Studded with nuts, adorned with chocolate, or dotted with dried fruit, biscotti, Italy’s unique twice-baked cookies have a crunchy, toasty, enduring appeal. Perfect for dunking into coffee, tea, or Vin Santo, they’re easy to make; and transform a simple bowl of ice cream or sorbet into a special dessert. With savory ingredients swapped for the sweet ones, biscotti are a delicious accent to a cheese platter. Nibble on traditional flavors such as Hazelnut or Anise, coffeehouse neo-classics like Christmas Cranberry-Pistachio, tempting new versions such as Browned Butter and Toblerone, or savory ones, including Mountain Gorgonzola and Walnut, and taste the perfection of a classic cookie. Ciao biscotti!
“Will keep biscotti lovers happy for a very long time . . . Some of the old classics are here, like almond or anise biscotti, but she’s also included some recipes for some not-so-traditional ones like browned butter and Toblerone.” —Ciao Chow Linda
“You’ll find yourself turning out batch after batch of these twice-baked delights in your own kitchen . . . packed with tips on technique and ingredients, and clear recipes make the baking easy.” —L’Italo Americano
