  • Rating Is there life after Triple Ginger Biscotti?  Jul 7, 2000 (23 of 23 found this helpful)

    This slim volume of biscotti recipes is a winner - a visually appealing volume as well as having consistency good recipes. It provides a sufficiently broad selection of biscotti - from very sweet to mildly sweet, from very crisp to barely crisp. Everyone should be able to find a favorite.

  • Rating This is my most used and favorite biscotti book  May 24, 1999 (19 of 19 found this helpful)

    The recipes are varied and I can always find one that suits the occasion or suits whatever ingredients I happen to have on hand. It's a gift that I have given to numerous people and they LOVE it also. My favorite simple recipe is the one with grated nutmeg and orange rind..ummmmm

  • Rating Yummers!!  Aug 31, 1998 (17 of 17 found this helpful)

    I've bought several biscotti books, but this is the one I keep returning to and have bought several copies of for gifts. I've made five or six of the recipes in it (I keep going back to the favorites!) and have used ideas from it to create my own versions, always successfully. The only complaint I have is that the "Chocolate Ribboned Biscotti" do not, in fact, have a ribbon of chocolate running through them, but a layer of melted chocolate slathered on the outside -- making it just like the recipes that suggest the chocolate as an option, rather than something different like a marble biscotti. Other than that minor complaint, I have to say that I'm very pleased with this book. I especially recommend the "Triple Ginger Biscotti," if you happen to like ginger!

  • Rating Biscotti made simple!  Jul 3, 2002 (15 of 15 found this helpful)

    This is a wonderful book and each recipe I have tried is outstanding. The Double Chocolate Decadance with roasted almonds and the Caramel Walnut are the best. 'My biscotti' is now requested and expected for every holiday or visit. My mother and sister both asked for this book for Christmas and now even more family and friends are enjoying the results.

  • Rating A "must" for serious 'afternoon tea' afficionados!  Aug 5, 1998 (14 of 14 found this helpful)

    "Biscotti" is not only a great recipe book, but also an excellent reference source in regard to different cultures' ideas of dunkable treats. There are numerous recipes for biscotti (including one that's perfect for breakfast!), which are actually much easier to prepare than many people believe. I've tried several of the recipes, and have had wonderful, tasty results.
