Chocolate Almond Biscotti – Clara’s Kitchen
Born on August 18, 1915 In Chicago, Illinois,
She passed away peacefully on on November 29, 2013.
Clara is dearly missed by her family and the many fans
she has acquired from her online cooking show, Great Depression Cooking.
During the depression, there were no gifts or celebrations at all for the holidays,
it was all about family being together.
Clara always found a way to make something special, like her biscotti.
She looked forward to adding chocolate to her biscotti.
Over the years Clara imparted her Great Depression experiences
to her grandchildren as she cooked meals from the era.
The meals were simple and delicious.
The stories were a mixture of misfortune and comedy.

The magic of Clara is that she can turn lemons into lemonade.
She had a childhood that most of us can’t imagine,
but she was able to make the best of it
and turn those trials into lessons we can all learn from.
