Italian Cookies
In A Decorator’s Diary, Libby shares the secrets of her design, including incorporating color and pattern, upholstery, the art of imperfection, collaboration, and sustainability. She believes in creating rooms that provide comfort and shaping living spaces that tell a story.
Italian Cookies: Authentic Recipes and Sweet Stories from Every Region is a beautiful, comprehensive guided tour of Italy’s regions through cookies and delightful cookie stories. With recipes steeped in history and tradition, the book capitalises on two major continuing food trends: our love of everything cookies and our love of everything Italian.
From Lombardi’s super-soft Amaretti de Gallarate to Tuscany’s crunchy twice-baked Cantucci; Abruzzo’s rustic Pizzelle to Sardina’s fennel-scented Anisetti, the reader will discover cookies for every taste and occasion. Directed to the home cook, the book also includes recipes for sweet essentials such as candied citrus, amarene (sour cherries preserved in syrup), pastry cream, homemade almond (and hazelnut and pistachio) paste, and pasta frolla—the buttery pastry that forms the foundation of many Italian cookies.
Sections on ingredients, equipment, and basic techniques make this book accessible to all.
