EVOLVING WHEN LIFE SENDS YOU LEMONS

Still looking for the voice and consistent themes for this food/travel/thoughts blog. Stay tuned...

I am experimenting with biscotti recipes and will share recipes and photos very soon. The base recipe is actually for mandelbrot [mondel bread] the Jewish version of Italian biscotti that was published in the December 1992 issue of Bon Appetit--Orange, Chocolate and Hazelnut Mandelbrot.

There used to be a fantastic store on West Grand in Chicago--Anna, Ida and Me--my introduction to mondel bread and the delirious revelation that biscotti can be full-bodied and flavorful and not just dry and airy.
