Some time back I received a beautiful parcel from Asha, or the FSK gal as I call her, a NYC blogger who blogs at Fork-Spoon-Knife. There was so much excitement in my little boys’ life when the parcel arrived. He was besides himself with joy to see the contents. Some fab fresh ground coffee beans from Picollo Cafe, and a charming bottle of aged balsamic vinegar! A huge chunk of time went in the boy trying to sniff out coffee flavours, and every so often he would look at the coffee and ask me when I’d make something with it?

Oh, Deeba! You did this just for me, didn't you?!? I'll put coffee in just about anything, and what's more appropriate than biscotti!
WOW! AMAZING photographs…the chocolatey goodness just jumps off the page!!! BTW, I also love your "Ode to blogbakers"
Sounds good…loved the biscotii…and the pansies…the photos just jump out of the frame!!!WOW
That looks fabulous, Deeba! I'd have great fun dipping into my favourite coffee. Love the beautiful writings on top.
This sound good, never bake biscotti before, I must try one day.
Hi Debbie your coffee biscotti seem real good!
Asha is lovely isnt she? What a beautiful way to celebrate her gift! It sounds delicious especially with the addition of buckwheat flour!
Your biscotti are so pretty! Terrific presentation!
Cheers,
Rosa
Divine! I can smell the biscotti!!
What can be used as a substitute for buckwheat? Can an equal quantity of instant coffee be used in place of the coffee beans Deeba?
splendidi e deliziosi! complimenti!
I have been making lots of bicotti these days and we just love it….havent made with chocolate flavour though….
Oh, Deeba! Sometimes, I can't leave a comment because your creations render me wordless, except for "Wow!" These biscotti are spectacular, especially as you put your own special mark on them. I am definitely a coffee person and am sipping a cup as I read (although now, I wish I had one of these to dip) Buckwheat flour sounds great – do you think it's best for cookies & breads mainly, or would it work on something more cake-y?
Your photos are so gorgeous but I know these treats are even better in reality. Thank you so much for entering our contest!
I dearly love your photographs–and the subject matter looks quite delicious. I've not baked with buckwheat flour yet–have used it for pancakes–and look forward to trying it in one of my favorite cookies of all time (that and the American Girl Sout Cookie called Thin Mints).
I am a lover of coffee too – as I sit here drinking some of my very favorite locally roasted & ground coffee
Don't think I'm a snob about it but probably some would say I am as I am very choosy about what I will drink 
I love your photos and the recipe….also, thank you for the link!!
Chocolate and caffeine, nothing better when you want to bounce off the walls all day! The photos ooze decadence.
The kids would be in second heaven with these coffee flavoured treats. What better way to have coffee flavoured biscotti but dipped in coffee:D
I really like the look of these biscotti. They look nice and nutty. And I love the words! Good luck, hope you win.
oh!! I fell in love with these. I love coffee and chocolate combo. You re the best
We are definitely coffee people – these look wonderful!
Wow Deeba! Delicious and wonderful looking photos.
I enjoy the playfulness of your photographs. They are so alive.
yum yum..drooling..:) love the ethnic looking teapot!couldn't find buckwheat flour here..will try the biscotti without it!:(
just imagining the two of us sitting and chatting (in hindi) and indulging in some of these – and eating our words. lovely flavors!
I am coming to your house! This flavour combo is fantastic!
How much I love Biscotti with my coffee…and if it has coffee in it…cant imagine how many I will eat…
Deeba, these are gorgeous and perfect. You just made the best coffee biscotti, which are the best of both worlds. Can you send me some?
Wow, this are really pretty treats Deeba. Love those neat writing and decor on each of them.
Oh Deeba I love the writing on these biscotti. So pretty and playful!
Scrumptious biscotti and a great entry for the contest!
Eating your words sounds fun! I've never made biscotti before but I was reading about it the other day and they're on my must do list.
Lovely gift from Asha too!
Deeba, do you know those cartoons where the creature stares at something amazing with its eyues bulging and tongue hanging out? That was me and that picture of the liquid chocolate on the end of the biscotti. So delicious Deeba!
deeba, such a beautiful treat. i'd love to have one with my tea right now in the morning. i love biscotti, they remind me of 'rusk', which my mamma loves. gorgeous photos, too. x shayma
I love your chocolate doodles! I think it really adds to the biscotti.
When I saw the first picture I just knew this was for an eating your words post. These are so cute!
Yum!!!! I love trying new biscotti recipes and will be putting yours to the test. Buckwheat flour, eh? Sounds great! I can taste them already! Coffee always enhances chocolate so these have to be devine! Like you, I LOVE good coffee. The darker the better.
Oh Deeba, your photos are so exquisitely beautiful they almost hurt my eyes.
So clear and real, I feel as if I'm right there with you. I'm using buckwheat flour a lot lately, and these look amazing. 
oooh these biscottis make me feel like ditching sleep and having a coffee break now!! yum.
The only way I ever eat biscotti is dipped in a hot cup of coffee heavily laced with cream! Yummy!
Thanks for everything, Deeba! I have something for you at my blog… Please click…
