Friendship Bars
both from David Lebovitz
David Lebovitz was a pastry chef at Chez Panisse for over 12 years. He now lives in Paris (brat). He has a wonderful, inspiring blog. Anyway, this week I am making two recipes from the recipe list in his blog. The chocolate hazelnut biscotti is an adaptation of his chocolate biscotti recipe - he calls for almonds, but I have had some hazelnuts in the house for a couple of weeks now, intending to use them in a recipe, so I have substituted hazelnut extract and hazelnuts instead of almonds in his recipe.
The Friendship Bars are a type of dried fruit and nut bar. He calls for dates and apricots. I have used a mixture of those, but with fewer dates and an addition of dried sour cherries and cranberries to add some additional flavors.
Astonishingly - and completely unintentionally on my part, I assure you - neither recipe calls for any added fat (butter, etc.) So they are obviously healthy - yeah, that's it, healthy.
