Dried Cherry and Almond Biscotti with Tea

Baking is new for me, it has never been easy and many times I am disappointed at the outcome. For my New Year's resolution I Decided that this was the perfect time to change this perception. I found this recipe online at Food Network.com by Chef Anne Burrell Dried cherry and almond biscotti. The combination of cherry and toasted almonds with a dab of chocolate is genius. Followed this recipe pretty closely with only a few minor changes. The texture was nice and crunchy and the lemon zest brightened and clarified the flavors. This was a relatively easy recipe to follow. What I have learned about baking is that it is much more precise than cooking. You can still be creative but you have to understand the basic fundamentals.
