Josephine's Anise Cookies
With a soft texture and warm, licorice-like flavor, Italian anise cookies are a longstanding Christmas tradition in my family.
Calzones Rotos (Chilean Fried Pastries)
A Chilean friend says she finds calzones rotos a bit dry, but I politely disagree. More than doughnuts or funnel cake, they're really fried cookies. She probably just takes them for granted. Plus, they're served warm and dusted with confectioners' sugar.
Josephine's Caponata (Eggplant Appetizer)
This sweet, tangy, briny caponata is delicious with crisp crostini toasts or wedges of crusty bread and a glass of wine. Great for entertaining!
Lemon Cream Bomboloni with Rhubarb Chutney and Pistachio Florentines

Beignets

Paczki
Crisp on the outside, yet soft and yielding on the inside, pączki may look like ordinary jelly doughnuts, but these rich and dense pastries are far from run-of-the-mill.
Fried Zucchini with Parmigiano-Reggiano and Lemon from 'Franny's'
Fried vegetables make up a substantial chapter in the new Franny's cookbook. Rather than serving a plethora of deep fried cheese sticks and onion rings dipped in tomato sauce, Andrew Feinberg and Francine Stephens take a lighter approach. The thin batter puffs and turns a light golden-brown, leaving the zucchini tender throughout, yet still bright green within. Freshly ground black pepper, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and a squeeze of lemon are all they need as a finishing touch.
Chocolate Cake Doughnuts
With a wonderfully crisp exterior and fluffy interior, these chocolate cake doughnuts make a satisfying treat.
Spinach, Provolone, and Pepperoni Calzone
Calzones give you all the flavor of good pizza in a convenient hand-held package. These use our New York pizza-style dough and are filled with spinach, provolone, and pepperoni.
