I love to cook and I also love to Bake. Fortunately I have several places to take a batch of baked goods so that they are not in my house! I have been baking a lot lately and it’s partly due to the Book “Baking” by Dorie Greenspan. Dorie is a great Baker- she isn’t a pastry chef, she is an all American Baker. I don’t mean that she doesn’t use technique or that she can’t make a napoleon- but the recipes in this book are what you make at home or wish you could find at a corner bakery (maybe if you live in New York City or the South End of Boston you can…). In the wilds of Carlisle, there is no local bakery.
Anyway, I have made two blondie recipes, an oatmeal cookie recipe,and chocolate cupcakes. I have my eye on several more including; chocolate rice pudding, some Madelaine variations, and some other cookies. All of the recipes have been enourmously successful and the second blondie recipe solicited a request for the recipe.
Happy Baking!
