You're Eating Biscotti Wrong | Cantucci
Biscotti in America, Cantucci or Biscotti di Prato, in Italy, these almond cookies are a nutty, slightly sweet, definitely crunchy treat. But as we'll find out, in Italy they eat them totally differently - with wine!
In this video we'll discuss the Roman history of the biscotti - twice-baked cookie, and how a linguistic shift following the UK term biscuit created the need for a new name, Cantucci. We'll also talk about the need for twice baking to help dry out the Cantucci, which will give it the shelf life needed to survive long marches, sea journeys, or forgetting they're in the cupboard.
We'll also be creating two recipes for this episode! One based on an older, more roman style with no leavening agent or butter, just pine nuts and almonds which is similar to what Amando Baldanzi found and Antonio Mattei used in his classic recipe. Then we'll look at a more modern variation, using butter, baking soda, and some dried fruit and extracts.
In the end, we'll talk about the biggest difference in how the people in the US eat their biscotti versus Italy - with coffee or wine! Often paired with vin santo, or Holy Wine, cantucci add an earthy element to a sweet drink and become soft enough to chew. But, of course, you are free to pair with whatever you enjoy most!

How to Make Gevulde Speculaas: Dutch Almond Paste Filled Spice Cookies
Learn to make Gevulde Speculaas, deliciously rich almond paste wedged between two layers of spiced cake or cookie!! The warm spiced flavors of the cookie layers, and the almond taste of the filling, pair so well together. For me, those are the flavor of winter and the holidays!! If you like speculaas (or speculoos) and almonds, you will definitely enjoy this delicious treat!
While you can find gevulde speculaas year-round, it is considered a holiday treat!! I remember getting these at my grandparents' house for Sinterklaas. I (as do most Dutchies, it seems) absolutely love almond paste, and speculaas... so these cookies are just the perfect combination of both of them!! The flavors go SO well together.
