  Your resource for authentic travel to Italy 

DECEMBER 2011
 

Season's Greetings!       

 

 

May the coming New Year bring you joyful journeys of the heart and treasured travel experiences to all the beautiful places of your dreams.
 
Buon Natale e Felice Anno Nuovo! 

 

 

Buoni Biscotti!

 

Treats from the heart (and oven) make great gifts! And these "hearty"  cookies are not only fun to share, they are quite easy to make . . . especially when you have expert tips from Susan Russo of Food Blogga.

 

In her delightful article "Not All Biscotti Are Created Equal", Susan shares her insights along with a few wonderful recipes:

 

Traditional Almond Biscotti

Anise, Orange and Pignoli Biscotti

Cherry, Pistachio and Vanilla Biscotti

Chocolate-Dipped Espresso Biscotti with Kahlua Icing

Maple Walnut Biscotti with Maple Icing

 

In Tuscany, biscotti are known as cantucci or cantuccini  and are often served after dinner with sweet Vin Santo wine... a delicious twice-baked biscuit to both greet and finish off the day!

 

You can find an easy to print or save pdf version (9 pages) including all recipes, storage tips and article on our website:  Biscotti Recipes    

 

Enjoy and Happy Holidays!
