Chocolate Pistachio Cranberry Biscotti
At our house we like biscotti with a good cup of coffee. In Berkeley (where the freshly roasted coffee craze began in the mid-sixties) there are lots of options for coffee, but nowhere compares to the perfectly made, and perfectly presented, lattes and espressos at Bartavelle … [Read more...]

Peach Pie with Rhubarb
It took me years to feel confident about making pie dough. I could work myself into a froth just thinking about all of the things that might go wrong. Should I use shortening, butter, a mixture of the two—and what about the elusive leaf lard? Must I add lemon juice, vinegar, or … [Read more...]
