There is a reason why Dorie Greenspan is a leader in the culinary world, and this newest book, Baking with Dorie, is another excellent example of her skill as a chef and cookbook writer. Accompanied by stunning photos, each recipe sounds more delicious than the last. What I most loved about this book is that each recipe has a "playing around" note of how the recipes can be adapted to taste. I also appreciated that there were recipes for sweet and savory items, some simple, some special occasion showstoppers. The recipes that I found most intriguing were an Apricot and Pistachio Olive Oil Cake, Blue Cheese Bites, and a Fig and Goat Cheese Tart - all three flavorful and splurge-worthy. While some of the recipes are simple, and all are clearly written, it seems as if this book is best for a more experienced baker, as the layperson may be intimidated by the number of ingredients or steps in some of the recipes. I look forward to spending some time in the kitchen with this book!

What an aesthetic book with scrumptious-looking recipes. I am so excited to try them all. (Gaaahhhh, even though I am trying SO hard to stay healthy!) I spent my time browsing through the book with my mouth slightly ajar. Cakes, cookies, pies, loaves of bread and so much more! My inner child is dancing with joy.

I hope the final version has little bullet points next to the ingredients list for a better read, other than that, it's perfect!

You had me at the cover! Gorgeous picture! I’m not a huge dessert person but apparently the cover weakened my disposition!

What did I like? It’s very important to incorporate pictures in a cookbook to make you want to pick it up and look at it. Scanning the pages I have to admit the layout and pictures are all aesthetically pleasing. From cookies, cakes, to pies there is a ton of recipes in this book! Some of the more intricate recipes scan two to three pages of details.

Would I recommend or buy? I’d love a copy! If your looking for a well rounded dessert cookbook then this is a beautiful one! The author did a wonderful job! Not all recipes were photographed though which was the only issue I had. Four stars!

I received a complimentary copy to read and voluntarily left a review!

Thanks for the opportunity to review this cookbook! I received an ARC through NetGalley and reviewed it on the NetGalley app with no issues!

This is a decently sized cookbook with a lot to offer. It covers different baking staples and techniques. It’s good for a range of skill sets. There is a lot of text rather than just layout and photos, but speaking of the graphics, they are top notch! The high quality photographs of the results make me wish my baking looked as good!

This cookbook is ambitious/adventurous and you definitely need to set aside a good amount of time for these recipes. I found the choices of cookie recipes very interesting and I will definitely be getting a madeleines pan.

This book had so many different recipes and I wanted to try them all! Mainly eat them all over bake them all but what can you do? This book would be a great staple in any kitchen! Recipes seemed easy and ingredients wouldn't be hard to find! Can't wait to try making some of these!
Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for providing me with an arc for an honest review!

As always, Dorie Greenspan's cookbook offers a charming and accessible trove of recipes. I really appreciate how nicely laid out the index is, and the recipes and photography are beautifully matched.

I love many of Dorie Greenspan's recipes and I found a few more to try in this lovely cookbook. I love to bake and Dorie always has recipes that aren't too complicated. I like that she has different recipes that you can use to make other recipes also.

Thanks NetGalley for this ARC!

My first cookbook I read in 2021! Wow super good! I like the content and the photography. Very well styled. I haven't tested the recipes yet, but they seem legit. The recipes are easy to follow, nothing complicated, she uses ingredients that are common (or at least where I live), so it is not impossible to try out immediately. This cookbook has many classics recipes if you are expecting something new, you will not find much here.

The cakes looks so delectable. Both with the layers as well as delicate topping decoration. Found it hard to move away from the bread pictures. All so good. The cover cake is a Lisbon Chocolate cake. Once you read the description of it, you will want to have it, make it or both. Imagine madeleines can be made in a normal muffin sheet, Cooca cornmeal Biscotti sounds like a makeover. You can make those pocky sticks at home.

OMG, talk about luscious and delectable sounding recipes and the photos are simply mouthwatering. I've marked a few to try, but just reading and looking at the photos is a decadent experience. i think I gained 5 pounds just from that.
