Low in fat and calories, crunchy, satisfying biscotti are the perfect cookie for today's "light" way of eating. Whether you dunk them in a steaming cup of coffee in a crowded cafe, savor them with wine by firelight, or relax in the afternoon with a plateful and a mug of hot tea, you'll want this outstanding collection of tempting delights.
Biscotti are easy to make, and Maria Robbins has developed more than 50 biscotti recipes that feature only the most tantalizing flavor combinations. Besides biscotti, this book also features an array of addictive meringue cookies that have no fat and fewer calories (only 15 to 20 calories per cookie), and a handful of savory low-fat cookies that contain no sugar. These soft, chewy mouthfuls will complement any cookie tray full of biscotti.

Summary: Excellent variety of Biscotti recipes
Comment: We love biscotti and this little cookbook has a wonderful selection of low fat recipes. Each recipe I've tried has been a hit. The only thing that would improve the book would be a wire binding!

Summary: Excellent reference - and makes a great gift
Comment: I bought this book several years ago because biscotti are my favorite cookies. I never thought they would be so easy to make - and they make me look like a great cook to everyone who doesn't know how (yet) to make them. I always get asked for the recipe, so this book becomes a great gift item, as well. You'll get the confidence to get experimental with the ingredients and these really are very quick to make - which makes them perfect for Christmas when you are rushed.

Summary: Great cookbook
Comment: I love this cookbook! The best thing about biscotti is that they give you so much flavor for so little fat and calories ... and this cookbook has more delicious low-fat biscotti recipes than any other I've seen. (So many others have butter-based biscotti recipes; many of these recipes contain neither oil nor butter.) The meringue recipes are equally varied, although there are fewer recipes. I think this is a terrific cookbook, and I'm thrilled to own it.

Summary: Perfect hard biscotti
Comment: I've just baked my first biscotti from this book (Double Chocolate Almond Biscotti). I tried to follow the recipe precisely but I didn't have parchment paper so I used greased foil, I didn't have almond extract, I put chocolate chips in the dough instead of almonds, the egg & sugar mixture would not thicken AND the dough was so sticky it would not form into a log as was needed so I wet my hands & shaped it as best I could AND....... oh my god it came out perfect...d elicious.... fabulous!!!
So this recipe is a keeper. Hope the rest are the same but I'm really into chocolate biscotti for now so I'll experiment with that.
P.S, there is no butter in the recipes! This is for the figure conscious eater!

Summary: Best of the 3 biscotti books I purchased
Comment: I have tried several of the recipes, with great results.
The US measurements haven't been a problem for this Kiwi cook - if the mix is a bit dry or moist I just add a little more of the wet or dry ingredients.No need for the food processing equipment mentioned, I have coped without quite happily...
