Blood Orange and Rosemary Cornmeal Cookies, From My New Cookbook
This is a recipe from my new cookbook memoir, Eating Again: The Recipes that Healed Me. The cookbook is coming out on February 8, 2022 with Helitrope Books.
These were some of my most successful quarantine cookies. When I took them to my friend Lydia, the daughter of a pastry chef from Naples, she asked me if she could buy a batch. And that’s when I began to realize I was onto something that made me very proud, and happy. Even though they are vegan, they are extremely buttery and crumbly like shortbread. The rosemary gives them a rustic, savory elegance that I love in a dessert. If these cookies were a building, they would be a warm mountain chalet, and the addition of the blood orange juice as a binder gives them a deep, penetrating, and unforgettable essence.
Cinnamon Carrot Cookies
The perfect essence of autumn in a cookie, with rosemary, homemade candied orange peels, and pecans.
The recipe to my candied orange peels is in the notes. We discussed on my show with Oxfam’s Oliver Gottfried that is available on my Instagram.
Ginger Pecan Biscotti
This is a beautiful recipe for biscotti, which in Italian means “cooked twice”. Perfect for autumn with the warm spice of ginger, the essence of the orange zest, and the beautiful earthiness of the rosemary.
Hazelnut and Espresso Cookies
These are some of my favorite cookies, made with hazelnut flour and Italia espresso. They are vegan, decadent, rich and healthy. Please try and make them, send me your photos, and I will share them on my Instagram.
