this photo is proof that I am not only baking American treats- my friend Lucia gave me this recipe (naturally dairy-free!) for cantuccini. Biscotti are cookies, usually for breakfast, but not the term for these. According to Lucia, Cantuccini are a Tuscan specialty from a town not too far from Firenze called Prato and they should be enjoyed only after pranzo (a big lunch) or cena (dinner) with a glass of vin santo (not so different from sherry). My first try at the recipe was a flop, I didn’t make the logs you eventually cut thin enough and they turned into what I’ve dubbed cantuccioni (big, fat cantucci). Pictured is my second try, it’s going much better now.
