A few weeks ago, Matt Gross of The New York Times asked me THE question:
“If it was your last meal, what would you eat in İstanbul?”
I didn’t need to think twice.
Coffee Hazelnut Cookies
Coffee and Hazlenut Cookies. The first recipe I’ve tried from Alice Medrich’s new book Pure Dessert. The book is full of simple and delicious recipes that focus on pure flavor. That is also evident from the way the book is organized; the recipes are categorized by ingredients rather than dessert types.
No fancy frostings, no overpowering ingredients clashing – just a few ingredients that work wonders.
Chocolate and Hazelnut Biscotti
About a year ago, I used to bake 10-20 batches of biscotti per week (I didn’t eat them all). Then I started having biscotti nightmares. Logs sticking to my hands… Flour everywhere. Chop, chop, chop… Bake and slice and bake and slice…
After I started having these nightmares, I stopped baking biscottis for a while. Then, last week, I received a comment on my previous biscotti post and realized how long it has been the last time I baked these rock-hard goodies.
