Biscotti recipe in GBBO book

[5Foot5]

Also posting this in Telly Addicts as it is relevant.

Does anyone have the book that goes with this series of Great British Bake-Off? If so have you read or tried the recipe for Orange, rosemary and almond biscotti?

I have read it three times now and, unless I am being exceptionally stupid, I think they have made a mistake. Could I have an opinion from someone else with the book before I try to make it myself.

I don't have the current book but I do have a biscotti recipe from Paul Hollywood's book if that's any help?

Thanks but it is this specific recipe I have an issue with. I have other biscotti recipes and have successfully made biscotti last Christmas.

Google Orange, rosemary and almond biscotti. the BBC site gives you Ian's recipe.

Aha! I googled the orange, rosemary and almond biscotti recipe. It makes perfect sense. However it is a bit annoying that the recipe in the book I bought is less accurate than the recipe you can get free online

The confusion I had was what to do with the orange zest. The first few stages in the recipe (both book and online) have you carefully peeling and cutting strips of orange zest and blanching them no fewer than four times before boiling them in sugar syrup until soft. Fine - with it so far.

The online recipe then tells you to add these strips of peel to the biscotti mix along with all the other ingredients at step 5. However, in the recipe in the book they are never mentioned again. Never! So if you carefully follow that recipe step-by-step you presumably end up with 32 rosemary and almond biscotti and a plate of carefully candied orange zest at which point you exclaim "WTF am I meant to do with you now!"
