I recently was fortunate enough to get my hands on a copy of Dorie Greenspan’s Baking (From my home to yours). It’s probably become pretty clear that I love cookbooks and I love baking. I love looking over the cookbooks at the bookstore and I have had my eye on this one for quite some time. Dorie is probably most famous for the work she did with Julia Child, including the book she wrote called Baking with Julia. She has to be one of the most well-known pastry chefs/baker around.
This cookbook is fabulous. It has a little bit of everything. The chapters include Breakfast Sweets, A Cache of Cookies, Cakes of All Kinds, Pies and Tarts, Spoon Desserts, and Indispensables. I have to tell you, there isn’t one recipe in this book that I would not like to try. I love how accessible Dorie makes these recipes. There are recipes for all skill levels. Each sections contains great information including tips and tricks and storage of your baked goods. I love that Dorie includes the classics and some new favorites to try. She includes recipes for old favorites like brownies, carrot cake, and rugelach.
I would say that having this book paired with Martha Stewart’s Baking Handbook and any new baker would be all set. It’s a great place to start and truly yummy!
