 Great recipes, but no pictures! November 14, 2008
This is a fabulous recipe book - but buyer beware, there are no photographs of the biscotti. There are drawings. I like to see what I'm about to cook, especially if I'm planning to give the food item as a gift. The drawings are lovely, but they aren't representative of what you end up cooking - and while it's great to give a good tasting gift, it's equally important to make sure they're aesthetically pleasing, something you don't know with these recipes until you've actually made them! This is a big frustration.

This is a wonderful small cook book of only biscotti recipes. I have one for myself and have given three as gifts. My Sicilian mom always asks me to bring the "Tuscan" biscotti (from page 13) to holiday dinners at her house. I tried one of the chocolate versions made by my neighbor who also owns the book and they were outstanding. For ten dollars you get a great varitey of recipes which are easy, and don't call for ingredients which are too fancy or hard to find.
Simply orgasmic dunking delights!!! September 14, 2006

If you're looking for biscotti recipes, this is the very best collection around. As usual Lou Pappas does not disappoint. I've seen other collections, both in books and online, and they don't even come close to these.
I've tried virtually all the recipes and they've all turned out to be authentic tasty little morsels! When I bring them to work or to a party or as a gift, people are amazed. For some strange reason, everyone begs me to give them the recipe for the Orange Chocolate Nut biscotti. I guess it's the vote winner.
This book costs so little (especially the used editions) that there's no reason to deny yourself this little gem. Just remember, don't skimp on the vanilla, citrus zest, etc. and DO NOT use rancid nuts. I always use a good quality chocolate when I make mine, and I always bake with unbleached flower but that does not affect these recipes luckily. So, go ahead and bake...you seriously cant buy biscotti this good.
FYI: Biscotti is Italian for "twice baked" and is a plural word. If you just order one of them, then the proper word is "biscotto" (single, masculine). No such thing as "have a biscotti".

Biscotti by Lou Seibert Pappas and biscotti from the recipe book were a gift from a cousin. The delicious recipes and the ease of making them, inspired me to send both biscotti and the book, Biscotti, as Christmas gifts this year. All the recipents declared the gift the best ever; not one crumb was left. I highly reccommend the book.

After trying several recipes from the book, The 50 Best Biscotti Recipes, and not liking them, I purchased this book and am in biscotti heaven! I just ate a slice of Biscotti Nocciole-Cioccolato, and it is excellent. I could dip this in melted chocolate, too! I baked Biscotti Toscani and Double Chocolate Decadence (with expresso coffee,) and both were mouth watering. Some of the prep time is lengthy, for I like quick and easy. But grating the zest of an orange, toasting the nuts, or making a little expresso is well worth the time.
