LA Dolce Vita: Enjoy Life's Sweet Pleasures With 170 Recipes

I have a vast collection of cookbooks and this is one of my all time favorites. The biscotti recipes are amazing and different from the usual ones you find. I lost this book and could not find similar recipes on the internet or anywhere. If you like biscotti try the Union Square recipe. It is unique and everyone loves it!
