Today, Food Maven Josh B. introduced me to Italian amaretti cookies, which we found at I Preferiti di Boriana (Boriana's favorites) at the Ferry Building in San Francisco. They are mini cookies with a mild taste of marzipan and they are available soft or crispy/crunchy. Josh was also kind enough to show me how to create a nice after-dinner flourish by lighting the wrapper on fire. When lit, the tissue wrapper should shoot up like a rocket, if you follow his instructions.
See how the tissue paper shoots up into the air when it behaves.
