Recipe Review

Great texture and amazing flavor. This cookbook gives a basic biscotti recipe (almond biscotti), and then suggests two variations (chocolate-hazelnut and orange-anise). This particular version takes toasted anise seed and orange zest, and those flavors come through in a lovely and not overly assertive way.

This cookbook also had very nice instructions - it includes pictures of patting out the log, cutting the cookies, and the second baking. My husband prepared these to bring to his buddies at work - the instructions were clear and he had a stress-free baking experience.

I'd recommend this recipe for anyone. With its lower calorie (70) and fat content (only 4T butter and 2 eggs for 30 cookies), these delicious cookies could be prepared for any occasion.

I do love biscotti and my daughter is great at making it. Love dipping in coffee or tea. Love the way you displayed yours in the photo.

Thanks Southerncooker!
I think I copied the picture Leeka's posted of biscotti a couple months ago. The tea cup and saucer are cute - really tiny - that I bought in Korea last year.
Its a wonderful thing for a husband to discover he can make excellent biscotti! Happy new year!

LOL, I saw my name and am glad I checked what the chat was about.

What an interesting sounding flavour combination for biscotti! They look great!

They were really good! I wish you and southerncooker could join me for a cup of coffee and biscotti...
Happy New Year.

That would be wonderful. Maybe one day we can host a Cookbooker get-together somewhere!
