Baking with Dorie: Sweet, Salty & Simple by Dorie Greenspan, Mark Weinberg
5.0
I received this book as a Christmas present, and wasn't super enthused at first because I've never had just a "baking" cookbook (most of them are super intimidating!) - and I'd never heard of Dorie Greenspan. My MIL said this one was highly recommended by the Wall Street Journal, so she'd picked it up for me.
I am so happy to say that my initial impression was so, so wrong. This is a lovely book, and every single recipe I've tried from it has turned out to be perfect. The ratios are spot-on, the cooking times match my janky apartment oven perfectly, and my husband and I have gone through six boxes of butter since receiving this book.
I absolutely love to bake, and I want to get the rest of Dorie's cookbooks now, because I love the way she writes and how simple they are to make. I'm already planning out recipes for the rest of the year, and can't wait to bake my way through the entire book!
