Biscotti

biscotti

I like walking to second hand shops time to time. A year ago I catched a very beautiful, unusual, authentic nutcracker. Heavy, absolutely a working tool, with a carved wooden handle, it’s so pleasant to hold it! Don’t know who was its previous owner. But I like that the nutcracker has a new life in my photos and in my kitchen making my dishes more aromatic and tasty.

Like these biscotti. I have been working on their recipe for several years and I really like the result. But I’m totally sure that the experiments will continue.
