Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Candied cherry, date, and pistachio biscotti

    • apattin on August 16, 2018

      Texture was more cakey than a biscotti. More like a mandel bread. Taste was very good. Making the candied cherries was time consuming but the flavor was very yummy. Do not skimp on the lemon juice. I would have made 2 logs instead of the 14x8 slab as it was difficult to handle (it broke in several spots) and the cookies were too large. Oh and I skipped the dates, a good decision, I think.

  • Peach almond cake

    • Aggie92 on October 07, 2017

      Made this for a dear friend’s going away dinner. Since it is no longer peach season, I used honeycrisp apples instead. The cake was a huge hit with multiple people having seconds. The Mr. declared this to be his all-time favorite apple cake. The marzipan flavor was subtle, but paired really well with the fruit. Made the following high altitude changes (6200 ft.): Brandy Almond Marzipan - no changes, Cake - reduced baking powder to 1 1/2 tsp. and added the leftover egg yolk from making the marzipan.
