Chocolate and Pistachio Biscotti …adulterated from Bills
You need to cook this twice. Once as a whole loaf then slice it up and bake again so you have the biscotti.


You need for 30 Fashion Editors, 20 models or one lovely father on Father’s Day
²/³ cup caster sugar
2 eggs
2 cups plain flour
1/2 cup good quality cocoa powder
80g pistachios or almonds
a handful of chocolate bits

  • Preheat oven to 180C.
  • Remove your Chloe white cashmere dress.
  • Climb out of Balenciaga heels.
  • Take two aspros for the toe pain.
  • Find a large baking tray and some non-stick baking paper.
  • Chop up the almonds.
  • Beat the sugar and eggs together for 3 minutes, until it is thick as Jessica Simpson and as pale as Lily Cole.
  • Sift in the flour and the naughty cocoa powder and stir with a wooden spoon until almost combined.
  • Toss in the pistachios and use your hands if you must to mix it.
  • Divide the mixture in half and shape into 2 logs about 15cm long.Think George Clooney and Brad Pitt.
  • Place the logs on the prepared tray and flatten slightly to 2cm thick. Think David Beckham.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until firm. Think all 3.
  • Remove from the oven and leave until completely cool.
  • Heat the oven to 120C.
  • Cut the logs into thick slices so they look like…Biscotti!
  • Spread out lying flat onto an oven tray and bake for 20 minutes, turning once halfway through the cooking time.
  • Let cool.
  • Wrap up and give as a present to your Daddy.
  • Delicious.
