Food Scientist Amrita Basra helped prepare some of the sweet and savory recipes for the cookbook using the test kitchen in the
Almond Innovation Center. “My favorite recipe to make was the Almond Streusel Coffee Cake because it incorporates both the
natural and blanched almond flour — the blanched almond flour is used in the batter, while the natural almond flour is used in
the streusel,” she explained. “The use of the two types of flour in alternating layers gave the cake a great look while illustrating
how both flour types can be used interchangeably in the recipes.”
Both Raimondi and Basra agree on their favorite recipe to eat – the Irish Potato Cheese Waffles, which we’ve included here. For
