Christmas cookies

my mother is known to bake over 22 kinds of cookies for Christmas!
some are her mother's recipes, some her own and some from favorite cookbooks.

this biscotti recipe with almond and aniseed comes from the Union Square Cafe Cookbook...

i love these cookies any time of day but they are popular in Tuscany with Vin Santo dessert wine as the recipe points out.

merry christmas to all and to all a good night!

A Ferrari in Firenze

Annalisa Ferrari is off to Florence again for her A.Ferrari Kitchen October cooking tour schedule.

It was such an amazing time in April under her wing and in her kitchens all over Tuscany.

I miss the fun, food and friends made!

And the shopping!

Rumor has it that Annalisa will visit New York for the month of December and that she is offering to lead special cooking demonstrations for small groups, wine included!

I will follow up with details. Meanwhile, you can learn more about Annalisa's food focused tours at www.aferrarikitchen.com
