Do you have a recipe for the Pistachio Cookies from La Bottega Del Buongustaio? I had some, as you did, in Taormina and still lust for them!
Thank you!

If you were looking for the most wonderful cannoli you must have missed the Blue Moon Cafe. They are made fresh every morning, beautiful long ones with crispy shells and luscious filling flowing over. They were my breakfast for the week and while I savored them, my friends downed their orancini also made fresh every morning

Hello Danielle,
When you’re in Taormina one of the most spectacular places there is the Greek Theater which is up on a cliff. You get to it by riding up on a cable car from far below. It only takes about three minutes to get way up there. There are some very nice shops and restaraunts up on the cliff and ALSO the wonderful pastery shop where you can find the world’s finast pasteries. You won’t believe the view from the top of the Greek Theater. Also, be sure to drive up to Mount Etna. You can drive almost to the top, then park your car and take a lift which takes you even further to near the top. It’s breathtaking up there, but bring a very warm jacket when you go because it’s very cold near the top, even if it’s 80 degrees F. down below. Stop on the road on the way up and pick yourself up a few peices of lava to take home with you. Have a wonderful time there. I dream of Taormina all the time.

I’m wondering….you didn’t get a canoli?? Why?? Were there not any there? It’s Sicily! that’s where the canoli was born! We’re going to Taormina in 2 weeks and 2 days! Any more suggestions of places to stop and eat? places to see?

I too would love to know how to make the green pistacchio cookies from La Bottega del Buongustaio. Anyone know where I can get the recipe. I visited there in 2006 and will never forget what a paradise Taormina is.

I am looking for a cookie made with almond paste filling and a sweet buttery dough on the outside. The store where I buy it calls it Taormina cookies. made only at Christmas time. If you have the recipe I would be grateful.
Thank You,
Lorraine

I had a cookie similar to this when I was in Capri in September….I fell in love. Am in desperate NEED for a recipe…I can’t find it…and can’t find what they would be called even – I believe the bakery I had them at called them “Pistachini’s” ….

How can I get the recipe for this pistacchio cookie? I grew in the Italian section of Tampa and they used to sell these in the bakeries. I also had it when I was in Rome but can’t find the recipe. Please…..
