The Little Book of Biscotti

Do you love biscotti? Are you the sort of person who can't drink a cup of coffee (or sweet wine, if you're old school) unless you've also got a crunchy piece on hand for dunking? The sort who can't resist picking up an individually wrapped slice whenever you take a trip to your local coffee shop? The sort who would love to learn how to make these dry, delectable treats at home and share them with the world but who doesn't know where to start? If so, The Little Book of Biscotti is for you. The Little Book of Biscotti starts with a simple six-ingredient cookie recipe ... and expands it to include 99 variations. Rich, spicy, fruity, nutty, smooth, chunky, sweet, and extra-sweet, you'll find them all in The Little Book of Biscotti. Maybe you like your biscotti with vanilla, almonds, and pine nuts-the way their inventor, nineteenth-century Italian pastry chef Antonio Mattei, made them. Or maybe you prefer walnuts, pistachios, or no nuts at all. Do you like fruit in your biscotti? Chocolate? Chopped candies? Crushed breakfast cereal? Well, the possibilities are endless! The Little Book of Biscotti will show you that making your own biscotti couldn't be easier, and it certainly couldn't be more delicious.
