Italian Cookies: Authentic Recipes and Sweet Stories from Every Region

If there's one thing that unites Italy's 20 wildly different regions, it might just be cookies. Italian Cookies by Domenica Marchetti is a beautifully researched, warmly written journey through Italy's baking traditions, one biscotto at a time.

Because great Italian baking starts with great foundations, the book also covers the essentials: candied citrus, amarene (sour cherries preserved in syrup), pastry cream, homemade almond, hazelnut, and pistachio pastes, and pasta frolla — the buttery, golden dough at the heart of so many Italian classics. Dedicated sections on ingredients, equipment, and technique make every recipe approachable, whether you're a seasoned home baker or just beginning to explore Italian baking.

This is the kind of book you cook from, gift, and reach for again and again — a true celebration of Italy's rich and varied dolci tradition.
