Baking with Julia

Nick Malgieri (1x12)

Air date: Dec 21, 1996

Peter Malgieri, cookbook author and master teacher at Peter Kump's New York City Cooking School, bakes an assortment of fancy cookies. While creating a cornmeal-currant biscotti, he demonstrates the two ways to work the biscotti dough to form zaleti (diamond-shaped cookies). He also pipes out dough for amaretti, Italian almond macaroons, and creates flat, waffle-like cookies named pizelles ("little pizzas") because of their round, flat shape.
