Dorie Greenspan has written recipes for the most eminent chefsin the world: Pierre Herme, Daniel Boulud, and arguably thegreatest of them all, Julia Child, who once told Dorie, "You writerecipes just the way I do." Her recipe writing has won widespreadpraise for its literate curiosity and "patient but exuberantstyle." (One hard-boiled critic called it "a joy forever.") InBaking: From My Home to Yours, her masterwork, Dorie applies thelessons from three decades of experience to her first and reallove: home baking. The 300 recipes will seduce a new generation ofbakers, whether their favorite kitchen tools are a bowl and a whiskor a stand mixer and a baker's torch. Even the most homey of therecipes are very special. Dorie's favorite raisin swirl bread. Bigspicy muffins from her stint as a baker in a famous New York Cityrestaurant. French chocolate brownies (a Parisian pastry chefbegged for the recipe). A dramatic black and white cake for a "wow"occasion. Pierre Herme's extraordinary lemon tart.The generoushelpings of background information, abundant stories, and hundredsof 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 appendeda fascinating minibook, A Dessertmaker's Glossary, with more than100 entries, from why using one's fingers is often best, to how tobuy the finest butter, to how the bundt pan got its name.
