I enjoyed some of Dorie Greenspan’s latest baking book “Baking with Dorie”。 There are several apple recipes I am very excited to try， especially the ones that don’t include cinnamon because *GASP* my partner hates my beloved autumnal spice。 However， this book could have been half the length。 It took effort to find the recipes in her storytelling which I found off putting in the end。 I didn’t need her biography when all I wanted was a scone recipe。 She adds in extra steps that don’t need to be th I enjoyed some of Dorie Greenspan’s latest baking book “Baking with Dorie”。 There are several apple recipes I am very excited to try， especially the ones that don’t include cinnamon because *GASP* my partner hates my beloved autumnal spice。 However， this book could have been half the length。 It took effort to find the recipes in her storytelling which I found off putting in the end。 I didn’t need her biography when all I wanted was a scone recipe。 She adds in extra steps that don’t need to be there， and it feels like they were added for a page count instead of quality recipe writing。 I will be trying some of her recipes but this one will stay in my digital library instead of my well loved， real life cookbooks I use in my kitchen。This book was reviewed for NetGalley。 。。。more

If you love to bake， want to try to bake or are a cookbook collector， this book is a must。 Let's start with the fact that this book is just visually stunning， This book is filled with bright and beautiful photos that will have your fingers twitching to get into the kitchen to satisfy the intense cravings that you are going to be bombarded with。 I can't say that every recipe has a pictured but I will say that most do。 I loved that this book keeps the instructions and ingredient list simple。 I rea If you love to bake， want to try to bake or are a cookbook collector， this book is a must。 Let's start with the fact that this book is just visually stunning， This book is filled with bright and beautiful photos that will have your fingers twitching to get into the kitchen to satisfy the intense cravings that you are going to be bombarded with。 I can't say that every recipe has a pictured but I will say that most do。 I loved that this book keeps the instructions and ingredient list simple。 I really feel that even a novice baker will have no issues with following and understanding the recipes。 The ingredients used are mainly what I would classify as standard staples and if you do come across something you don't have， you should be able to find it just about anywhere。 An excellent variety of recipes is included that offer the basics （white bread， chocolate chip cookies and biscuits） to the more unique （Swedish Fika Cake and Glenorchy Flapjacks） add in a solid selection of some savory delights and some helpful info and you have a winning combination that easily earns a spot on your shelf。 A perfect treat for yourself or a great gift idea。 This is my independent， impartial review。 。。。more

I have several of Dorie Greenspan’s books and this one is as good or perhaps even better than her others。 There are so many recipes in this one that I wan to make。 There are breakfast recipes， cake recipes， cookie recipes， pies， tarts， cobblers and crisps included， as well as other great categories。 Almost every recipe has a photograph of the finished product。 There are bread recipes such as Raisin Bread， Blueberry Biscuits， Pecan Cranberry Loaf and Breakfast Squares。。 Some of the cakes include I have several of Dorie Greenspan’s books and this one is as good or perhaps even better than her others。 There are so many recipes in this one that I wan to make。 There are breakfast recipes， cake recipes， cookie recipes， pies， tarts， cobblers and crisps included， as well as other great categories。 Almost every recipe has a photograph of the finished product。 There are bread recipes such as Raisin Bread， Blueberry Biscuits， Pecan Cranberry Loaf and Breakfast Squares。。 Some of the cakes include Lemon Meringue Layer Cake， Double Decker Salted Caramel Cake， and Orange Spice Cake。 Some of the must try cookies are Mary Dodds Maple Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies， Tea and Honey Madelines， World Peace Cookies， Iced and Spiced Hermits and Park Avenue Brownies。 Listed Under the Pies， Tarts， Cobblers and Crisps are Cottage Berry Cobbler， Pumpkin Pie， Maple Walnut Pie， French Riviera Lemon Tart， and Alsatian Style Blueberry Tart。 These are just a small sampling of the many recipes in this cookbook。 There are way too many to list。 This wonderful cookbook will be a blessing to have on hand for the upcoming holidays。 However， be warned， it will be very difficult to try just a few。 You will want to make them all！ 。。。more

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。Jump to the bottom to see my take on three recipes I made from the book。I own a couple of Dorie Greenspan's cookbooks and jumped at the chance to be an early reviewer。 This volume is classic Dorie。 - The photographs are as good as they get in a cookbook， and almost every recipe has an image。- Every "genre" of baking is represented: bread， cakes， cookies， bars， pies， pastries， and more。 Sweet and savory are broadly cov I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。Jump to the bottom to see my take on three recipes I made from the book。I own a couple of Dorie Greenspan's cookbooks and jumped at the chance to be an early reviewer。 This volume is classic Dorie。 - The photographs are as good as they get in a cookbook， and almost every recipe has an image。- Every "genre" of baking is represented: bread， cakes， cookies， bars， pies， pastries， and more。 Sweet and savory are broadly covered。Are the recipes simple？ Some are （coffee shortbread， cheese puffers， walnut-maple pie） and others are daunting all day or two-day masterpieces （lemon meringue layer cake， brioches）。 I've shortlisted about a dozen recipes I plan on making （easy and challenging） and will update my review after I test them。 I'm starting with the easy coffee shortbread， and can't wait to test out some of the savory dishes。 Several recipes use ingredients I don't routinely stock in my （well-stocked） kitchen。 Rye flour， for example， is used multiple times。 In general， though， if you have a kitchen stocked for baking you will likely have most of the items you need to cook from this new book。If you love well-done， beautifully illustrated cookbooks， or if you are looking for a general baking cookbook this will do nicely。 Baking With Dorie will likely appeal more to the experienced baker， but Dorie's notes and general methods sections are well done， concise， and will help less experienced bakers。 I've made three recipes now and found the directions excellent。I plan on buying a hard copy version of this book as soon as it comes out， and that is about the best praise I can give a cookbook that I already have in e-book format。 The book is slated for publication October 19 -- just in time to get ready for your holiday baking。 I'm for sure making the maple walnut pie for Thanksgiving this year。Recipes made:The coffee shortbread is a super easy recipe for a standard shortbread that has the most unexpected flavors。 A bite starts with a flush of lemon/cardamon and finishes with an aura of coffee。 It’s sublime。 This recipe alone is worth the cost of the book。 I drooled over the image of the Lemon Meringue Layer Cake and tried it as my second recipe。 It looked pretty complicated， but the directions were easy to follow and everything came together to result in a cake that looked just like the image。 But it just didn’t taste great。 No one in my family or my neighbors' liked the cake。 I ended up throwing out the last quarter because no one wanted it。The cake was dense。 I baked it for just short of the minimum time in the recipe， but it was still dry and dense despite the syrup soaking。 By the amount of browning， it didn’t seem overbaked， but it tasted so。 The lemon cream was the one delicious part。 The frosting？ This was my first time making an egg white-based buttercream and no one in my family liked it。 I double-checked the ingredient amounts and compared them to other similar recipes online and everything seemed to check out。 And the frosting looked just right and handled just right as I frosted the cake。 But it tasted like a slab of （hard） butter surrounded the cake。 It was barely sweet， too firm （and didn’t soften up to be any tastier even after the recommended room temp rest）， and just not good。 I was very disappointed。 I would try a seven-minute cooked icing if I did the cake again -but I won’t。 If you like Swiss buttercreams you may like the cake more than we did。The Lisbon Cake （on the cover） is a winner。 The bottom is an intensely chocolate flourless cake， and the top is a delectably soft and luscious ganache。 The cake was devoured in record time。 。。。more

I have been playing with Baking with Dorie: Sweet， Salty， Simple for a few months。 I collect baking books and I have high expectations for Dorie Greenspan。 Overall， I quite liked this book and there are four recipes in here that have become a part of my regular repertoire， which is a lot for an individual cookbook。My very very very very favorite recipe is the first recipe in the book – “The Daily Bread: White Bread Edition。” I first made it 4 months ago， and while it is not the every day bread i I have been playing with Baking with Dorie: Sweet， Salty， Simple for a few months。 I collect baking books and I have high expectations for Dorie Greenspan。 Overall， I quite liked this book and there are four recipes in here that have become a part of my regular repertoire， which is a lot for an individual cookbook。My very very very very favorite recipe is the first recipe in the book – “The Daily Bread: White Bread Edition。” I first made it 4 months ago， and while it is not the every day bread in the house， it is the “I’m feeling a little fancy but still utilitarian” bread and has made many appearances in my house and has been gifted to a number of neighbors。 I do one thing differently – I use powdered buttermilk instead of powdered milk。 I haven’t yet made the braided ring loaf with this dough， because every time I suggest it， my housemates just want to toast this bread and make sandwiches with it。 Maybe I’ll make it over the Winter holidays。My second favorite recipe is the lemon curd。 I’ve used it to top muffins， make lemon bars， support the fruit in a fruit tart。 My housemate and I have eaten it with a spoon out of our individual jars。I spread that lemon curd on a slice of that bread， toasted。 I whispered a little prayer to all the gods of my ancestors and a tear trickled down my face。 I am only exaggerating a little bit。The “Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies” are very good。 It isn’t my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe， but when I had my extended household vote on it， Dorie Greenspan’s cookies won。 I’m sorry Sarah Keiffer。 Your cookies will still be my favorite。The Almond-Herb Crust is amazing。 It’s perfect for our bumper crop of tomatoes and cucumbers – for tomato parmesean tarts， or layered with goat cheese， cucumbers and salt。 The crust is also great as a cracker。That said， the Almond Herb Crust raises my biggest complaint about Baking with Dorie。 Her recipes frequently require a standing mixer or a food processor。 Greenspan is hardly the only author who does this， but it bothers me every time I see it。 Not everyone has a standing mixer or a food processor， and there are many reasons not to have one。 I don’t have a food processor and have made the crust without it just fine。 But when I was still a newbie baker， not seeing by hand instructions would have made me feel like I couldn’t attempt the recipe。My only other complaint is that I wish the savory section had been bigger。Next year during rhubarb season， I’m going to try the “Dark Chocolate Rhubarb Tart” and perhaps reread Molly Harper’s How to Date Your Dragon， which features a pie shop claiming to have the world’s best chocolate rhubarb pie。Don’t look here if you are looking for a lot of gluten free or dairy free recipes。 That’s not what this cookbook is about， and that’s fine。I received this as an advance reader copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

I received an advance copy of this book via NetGalley。Dorie Greenspan is a treasure to the world。 I've adored several of her cookbooks， not simply for the recipes， but for her voice。 Some cookbooks exude arrogance。 Dorie's books feel like an aunt taking you by the hand and casually talking you through a recipe without any strict edicts involved。 Most every recipe includes variations of ingredients and/or techniques so that individual bakers can make the recipe their own。 As the title says， this I received an advance copy of this book via NetGalley。Dorie Greenspan is a treasure to the world。 I've adored several of her cookbooks， not simply for the recipes， but for her voice。 Some cookbooks exude arrogance。 Dorie's books feel like an aunt taking you by the hand and casually talking you through a recipe without any strict edicts involved。 Most every recipe includes variations of ingredients and/or techniques so that individual bakers can make the recipe their own。 As the title says， this cookbook is all about baking， and there's a wide spectrum involved。 There are basic chocolate chip cookies and pie crust recipes， as well as those for more complex éclairs and layer cakes and pies。 There's even a section of savory baking recipes that， in a suitably French-influenced way， seem to revolve around cheese。 Readers of Dorie's other cookbooks will see new takes on old favorites， too， like her cheese puffs and her famous World Peace Cookies。The two criticisms I have of the book are on a more technical level。 （I did read a galley so some information such as gram amounts were incomplete， but the formatting itself is set。） First of all， I wish every recipe had a picture。 The photography that is included is stunning--I wanted more！ I want to know what the final versions should look like！ Also， some of basic building block kinds of recipes， like the pie and tart crusts， were all the way in the back， and I wish they were actually within the relevant section for easier reference。Overall， though， this book is a winner。 I'm sure it will be a bestseller and a book that many people wear out with use。 。。。more

Wow。 Like all Dorie Greenspan books this one is 5 stars。 1。 It's a monster and covers SO many topic areas。 Anyone can find something to bake in this book。 2。 It's worth it for the Two Perfect Little Pastries chapter ALONE 3。 The Pie chapter is all you need for Thanksgiving 。 If you have a baker in your life， or desire to be one: this cookbook is a phenomenal first step or next step。 5 stars from me。 Thank you to the author， publisher， and Netgalley for providing me with an E-Arc。 Wow。 Like all Dorie Greenspan books this one is 5 stars。 1。 It's a monster and covers SO many topic areas。 Anyone can find something to bake in this book。 2。 It's worth it for the Two Perfect Little Pastries chapter ALONE 3。 The Pie chapter is all you need for Thanksgiving 。 If you have a baker in your life， or desire to be one: this cookbook is a phenomenal first step or next step。 5 stars from me。 Thank you to the author， publisher， and Netgalley for providing me with an E-Arc。 。。。more

'Baking with Dorie' is a spectacular offering in an ocean of baking greatness。 This stunningly photographed guide covers everything from an array of mouthwatering breakfast recipes， to delectable little pastries and tantalizing savory salty side up bites。 Many times when I first open a new cookbook， I spend a good amount of time reading it from cover to cover to decide which recipe I want to experiment with first。 Yet， with Dorie's new cookbook I couldn't even get through the first chapter befor 'Baking with Dorie' is a spectacular offering in an ocean of baking greatness。 This stunningly photographed guide covers everything from an array of mouthwatering breakfast recipes， to delectable little pastries and tantalizing savory salty side up bites。 Many times when I first open a new cookbook， I spend a good amount of time reading it from cover to cover to decide which recipe I want to experiment with first。 Yet， with Dorie's new cookbook I couldn't even get through the first chapter before I felt the urge to jump up and start making the Blueberry Biscuits on page 49。 Only someone who loves baking could create such a cookbook and Dorie's expertise and meticulous instructions can easily make a baker out of even the most unconfident person in the kitchen。 I envision many hours spent in the kitchen this year because of this book， covered in a dust of flour and checking of each recipe from 'Baking with Dorie' one at a time。 。。。more

I found this book interesting despite feeling like the recipes aren't that easy to follow。 Although with thorough reading， research and practice， they can be achieved。Many thanks to NetGalley and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt for the free eARC。 This review is made with no compensation whatsoever from the owners of this eARC。 I found this book interesting despite feeling like the recipes aren't that easy to follow。 Although with thorough reading， research and practice， they can be achieved。Many thanks to NetGalley and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt for the free eARC。 This review is made with no compensation whatsoever from the owners of this eARC。 。。。more

Thank you For the ARC to read and review。I admit I’m am not much of a baker。 Looks like from many of the reviews so far that Ms Greenspan has a great following。 I don’t think a beginner baker like me could use this book to learn。 I wish there were more clear photographs of her process。 The recipes all sound delicious。
