Baking with Dorie: Sweet, Salty & Simple by Dorie Greenspan, Mark Weinberg

5.0

This is a beautiful cookbook just chock full of gorgeous recipes. The photos are beautiful, and the recipes are well written, with lots of great tips and suggestions for variations by the author. But to me, the best cookbooks are those with plenty of recipes that sound delicious, that don't require lots of fussy hard-to-find ingredients, AND that taste amazing. This book fits that bill! I tested three recipes before reviewing, and they were all excellent. The Lemony Yogurt Muffins were possibly the best textured muffins I have ever baked. The Caramel Crunch-Chocolate Chunklet Cookies had a lovely taste and texture reminiscent of a good pecan sandy. The Park Avenue Brownies were rich, fudgy, and delicious! I like that every recipe includes weight of ingredients in grams for accuracy. I'm looking forward to trying more of the recipes!
