Baking with Dorie (Dorie Greenspan)

Dorie Greenspan's name is synonymous with baking. The renowned author of thirteen cookbooks and winner of five James Beard and two IACP awards offers up a collection that celebrates the sweet, the savory, and the simple. Every recipe is signature Dorie: Easy and accessible, with ingredients available at the corner grocery store. Beginners can ace every technique in this book. Are there surprises? But of course! Berry biscuits. Foot-long cheese sticks made with cream puff dough, gouda, and cumin. An apple pie with browned butter that tastes like warm mulled cider. A s'mores ice cream cake with velvety chocolate sauce, salty peanuts, and toasted marshmallows. This collection of simple yet sophisticated baking includes chapters like Breakfast Stuff * Cakes * Cookies * Pies, Tarts, Cobblers and Crisps * Two Perfect Little Pastries * Salty Side Up. Each one features "Sweethearts," Dorie's all-time favorite recipes that lend themselves to being remade, refashioned, and riffed on, like the chocolate chip cookies, meringue, and brioche.
