This Month’s Recipe

Krumiri (Piemontese Cornmeal Cookies)
I first encountered krumiri on one of my first visits to Italy in the early Seventies. I have to confess that I was mainly attracted to the brightly lithographed red tin and wanted to add it to my growing collection. Later on the train back to Zurich I opened the tin and was pleasantly surprised to find a bonus of delicious biscotti. Krumiri are delicately buttery with a strong, sweet corn flavor.
