Ciao Biscotti: Sweet and Savory Recipes for Celebrating Italy's Favorite Cookie

Ciao Biscotti is a collection of forty-four authentic biscotti recipes from Italian cooking expert Domenica Marchetti. These twice-baked Italian cookies are studded with nuts, adorned with chocolate, or dotted with dried fruit, offering a crunchy, toasty appeal. They are perfect for dunking into coffee, tea, or Vin Santo, and can transform simple desserts like ice cream or sorbet into something special. With savory ingredients substituted for sweet ones, biscotti also work as an accent to a cheese platter. The book includes traditional flavors such as Hazelnut and Anise, coffeehouse variations like Christmas Cranberry-Pistachio, newer versions such as Browned Butter and Toblerone, and savory options including Mountain Gorgonzola and Walnut. The recipes are presented with tips on technique and ingredients, designed to make the baking process straightforward for both new and experienced bakers.
