Croissants Pignons (Pine Nut Crescents) Ingredients:

17 oz Ground almonds
2 1/3 cup Sugar
8 large Egg whites
10 oz Pine nuts

In a food processor fitted with a metal blade, process almonds, sugar

with a tight-fitting lid for 24 hours. Form the dough into 2 1/2-inch
crescents. Roll crescents in the pine nuts, then pat pine nuts gently

preheated 400F oven 15 minutes, until lightly browned. Makes 50
cookies.

�Cooking is at once one of the simplest and most gratifying of the arts, but to cook well one must love and respect food.�

Craig Claiborne

"When treasures are recipes they are less clearly, less distinctly remembered than when they are tangible objects. They evoke however quite as vivid a feeling-that is, to some of use who, considering cooking an art, feel that a way of cooking can produce something that approaches an aesthetic emotion. What more can one say? If one had the choice of again hearing Pachmann play the two Chopin sonatas or dining once more at the Cafe Anglais, which would one choose?"
