One of my absolute favorite books in my kitchen is Baking by Dorie Greenspan.  I go to this book all the time for recipes and ideas.  Dorie has such a wonderful take on classic recipes.  Recently, I stumbled across her blog at www.doriegreenspan.com and I am loving it.  Dorie posts recipes and talks about her adventures.  It’s a great place to go and browse around.  If you haven’t read any of Dorie’s books I highly suggest the Baking cookbook.  It has everything including cookies, custards, cakes, breads, muffins, etc.  You certainly won’t be disappointed.  I really love the recipe she has for carrot cake and the snickery squares.  If you want to listen to a great interview piece, then check out this link on NPR http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=6514512 . I just love Dorie.  She really makes you love baking, like a good teacher should!  She has a wonderful sense of humor and shares great stories.
