Photo by Judith Hausman These tomato-lemon and olive-rosemary biscotti are delicious with minestrone. If a good soup is simmering on your stove this winter as often as it is on mine, you’ll love these crunchy, savory biscotti as the perfect accompaniments.

Photo by Judith Hausman With a little bit of work, vegetables that would have otherwise gone to waste can be transformed into sauces, soups and salads.
