I’ve been in the kitchen without an ounce of chocolate to be seen. These little bites are inspired by some fabulous soft almond amaretti biscuits we had on the island of Gozo a few summers ago. It took quite a few batches to get the mix and temperatures right – I brought a packet back and each time a tray came out of the oven they were tested against these. This is what we ended up with – not identical to the Gozo version but our Oxford version and pretty good too.

They are a particular favourite: I remember one evening that summer of many batches bringing out a tin to have with after supper coffee. It sat between Robin and Ian who gave me great feedback – not one left by the time they had finished their drinks!
