Hope that helps - if you need any more info, please let me know.Andrea_TheKitchenLionesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05188562947486964076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5171858975021092818.post-62217243947725105642013-04-16T13:04:24.361+02:002013-04-16T13:04:24.361+02:00Cher, yes, those intriguing Medici - their family ...Cher, yes, those intriguing Medici - their family history is certainly worth studying.

I really want to make them with pistachios because I think the flavor combination with the almonds sound so delicious and the little bit of green in the tea cakes is just beautiful.
