Dorie Greenspan has written recipes for the most eminent
chefs in the world: Pierre Hermé, Daniel Boulud, and
arguably the greatest of them all, Julia Child, who once
told Dorie, "You write recipes just the way I do." Her
recipe writing has won widespread praise for its literate
curiosity and "patient but exuberant style." (One
hard-boiled critic called it "a joy forever.") In Baking:
From My Home to Yours, her masterwork, Dorie applies the
lessons from three decades of experience to her first and
real love: home baking. The 300 recipes will seduce a new
generation of bakers, whether their favorite kitchen tools
are a bowl and a whisk or a stand mixer and a baker"s torch. Even the most homey of the recipes are very special. Dorie"s
favorite raisin swirl bread. Big spicy muffins from her
stint as a baker in a famous New York City restaurant.
French chocolate brownies (a Parisian pastry chef begged for
the recipe). A dramatic black and white cake for a "wow"
occasion. Pierre Hermé"s extraordinary lemon tart. The
generous helpings of background information, abundant
stories, and hundreds of professional hints set Baking apart
as a one-of-a-kind cookbook. And as if all of this weren"t
more than enough, Dorie has appended a fascinating minibook,
A Dessertmaker"s Glossary, with more than 100 entries, from
why using one"s fingers is often best, to how to buy the
finest butter, to how the bundt pan got its name.
