This book is great for anyone who likes biscotti. It is actually the third time I have bought this book, because everyone always wants to know how to make this tasty treat and I end up giving them the book for a gift.

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.

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.

This a great book. The recipes are easy and the results are great. The cookies are not hard like the store bought ones. You can actually eat them without dunking them in coffee. I make them every Christmas as gifts and everyone loves them.

This is a wonderful book and each recipe I have tried is outstanding. The Double Chocolate Decadance with roasted almonds and the Caramel Walnut are the best. 'My biscotti' is now requested and expected for every holiday or visit. My mother and sister both asked for this book for Christmas and now even more family and friends are enjoying the results.

This Biscotti will keep your family and friends asking for more.I can't tell you enough about the Almond Crunch Biscotti, because it is that good.When you get finished eating one it is like the crunchiness and the after taste is so good that the biscotti actually has a spell on you and you just keep wanting more and more.And I am not joking when I make this biscotti everyone has said the same thing about the after taste making them want more.I love this book!!!And I try to keep some made because they go with everything from coffee to wine,so if someone stops over morning or night you have something to offer them.Plus they don't take long to make.

This slim volume of biscotti recipes is a winner - a visually appealing volume as well as having consistency good recipes. It provides a sufficiently broad selection of biscotti - from very sweet to mildly sweet, from very crisp to barely crisp. Everyone should be able to find a favorite.

This is the best biscotti book! A must for every one. The basic recipes are excellent and the double chocolate biscotti is the consistency of a cake brownie.

The recipes are varied and I can always find one that suits the occasion or suits whatever ingredients I happen to have on hand. It's a gift that I have given to numerous people and they LOVE it also. My favorite simple recipe is the one with grated nutmeg and orange rind..ummmmm

I've bought several biscotti books, but this is the one I keep returning to and have bought several copies of for gifts. I've made five or six of the recipes in it (I keep going back to the favorites!) and have used ideas from it to create my own versions, always successfully. The only complaint I have is that the "Chocolate Ribboned Biscotti" do not, in fact, have a ribbon of chocolate running through them, but a layer of melted chocolate slathered on the outside -- making it just like the recipes that suggest the chocolate as an option, rather than something different like a marble biscotti. Other than that minor complaint, I have to say that I'm very pleased with this book. I especially recommend the "Triple Ginger Biscotti," if you happen to like ginger!

"Biscotti" is not only a great recipe book, but also an excellent reference source in regard to different cultures' ideas of dunkable treats. There are numerous recipes for biscotti (including one that's perfect for breakfast!), which are actually much easier to prepare than many people believe. I've tried several of the recipes, and have had wonderful, tasty results.
