A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Eater's Best Cookbooks of Fall 2021
Bon Appetit's Cookbook Gift Guide: 2021 Edition
Food & Wine's 23 Fall Cookbooks We're Reading (and Cooking from) This Season
From James Beard Award-winning and NYT best-selling author Dorie Greenspan, a baking book of more than 150 exciting recipes
Say “Dorie Greenspan” and think baking. The renowned author of thirteen cookbooks and winner of five James Beard and two IACP awards offers a collection that celebrates the sweet, the savory, and the simple. Every recipe is signature Dorie: easy—beginners can ace every technique in this book—and accessible, made with everyday ingredients. Are there surprises? Of course! You’ll find ingenious twists like Berry Biscuits. Footlong cheese sticks made with cream puff dough. Apple pie with browned butter spiced like warm mulled cider. A s’mores ice cream cake with velvety chocolate sauce, salty peanuts, and toasted marshmallows. It’s a book of simple yet sophisticated baking. The chapters are classic: Breakfast Stuff • Cakes • Cookies • Pies, Tarts, Cobblers and Crisps • Two Perfect Little Pastries • Salty Side Up. The recipes are unexpected. And there are “Sweethearts” throughout, mini collections of Dorie’s all-time favorites. Don’t miss the meringue Little Marvels or the Double-Decker Caramel Cake. Like all of Dorie’s recipes, they lend themselves to being remade, refashioned, and riffed on.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2025LOVE Dorie!! Beautiful cookbook with wonderful insight. Every recipe looks dependable and worth making. So far all my efforts have had great results. Thank you Dorie - you are the best!!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2025I love cook books. I don’t care that the internet has every recipe possible. It is so nice to sit and go through a good cookbook with great pictures like this one. Everything Dorie bakes is fabulous. Highly recommend!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2021BAKING WITH DORIE arrived today, and I'm already baking from it! I started today with the Everything Cake. This recipe is classic Greenspan, in that she encourages us to play and substitute to make her (always well-tested and reliable) recipes our own. Here's her introduction to the recipe:
"I had trouble deciding on a name for this easy one-bowl cake that you mix by hand. It’s like a sponge cake, but moist and a smidge chewy; you taste the butter, but you wouldn’t call the cake rich, just good. Its beauty lies in its possibilities. You can flavor it by adding other ingredients to the batter or by infusing spices, herbs or tea into the melted butter that goes into it. It can welcome fruit, fresh or dried, either in the batter or on top of it (the fruit usually sinks, but that’s fine). It can be frosted—I like it with a confectioners’ sugar icing—or brushed with warm jam, or just sprinkled with sugar. It can be sliced and filled, and it’s nice with a topping of poached fruit, whipped cream or even hot fudge sauce. I’ve suggested a few ideas (see Playing Around), but there are many more possibilities for you to discover on your own.
I trust her recipes because they work, and she encourages me to trust my own imagination (I added Calvados) and play around!

- Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2024What a fabulous cookbook for those who love to bake. The recipes are very clear and ingredients are such that you typically have on hand. The Photography and layout of the book is also attractive! I wanted to get started on about 12 recipes immediately after reading this great book cover to cover.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2021Dorie Greenspan is a delight and so are her baking recipes!
As a baking novice I decided to challenge myself and make pate a choux dough so I could make cream puffs.
I started out with another recipe and it came out horrible ( look at 2nd photo) even though I followed all the instructions.
So I whipped out my Baking with Dorie cookbook and used her recipe and although my piping needs some work my cream puffs came out perfectly!
I have yet to try any other recipes but I’ve read the book cover to cover a few times and each recipe is well written giving perfect instruction,
Even down to where you need to place your oven racks at to ensure proper cooking.
Plus she offers fun ways to switch up the recipes and encourages trying new ingredients and offers suggestions to what would work well for each recipe.
There are a lot of really interesting recipes that I’ve never heard of as well.
So don’t second guess getting this book!

- Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2024So far I’ve only made the chocolate pudding pie recipe, and it was a hit! Looking forward to trying many other recipes from this book!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2024Excellent book for beginners or the more advanced baker. Recipes are easy to follow and encompass everything you could want.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2022(the Lemony Yogurt Muffin recipe was used in my review photo)
I've made several recipes from this book - and I've only once had to plan a trip to the grocery store, but most are spontaneous and the recipes require ingredients that most have on hand. I like to think of these as templates for what I'd like to change or do for myself, but for someone trying to learn how to bake and cook, I appreciate the breakdowns, suggestions and images provided. At my level, this kind of book was exactly what I hoped for.

5.0 out of 5 stars 失敗なし
痒い所に手が届くというか、細かく書かれてるので(どの材料にもちゃんグラム数が書かれています)作りやすいです。残念なのは本の角が一か所曲がってしまっていたこと。欲しかった本なので大満足です。さて何から作ろうか、考え中です。Brava, Dorie Greenspan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything you ever need in a baking book is right here!
I am so glad I bought this book! It is worth ever penny of investment. It has every ecipe you will ever need. The recipes span across different types of baking items - from cake to bread to pastry to cookies. Name it and it's there! Almost every recipe has a corresponding picture. There are details on how you can play around with the recipe by adding different ingredients as well. It's probably the best baking book I've bought. So happy with my purchase!

- Glenda FowlowReviewed in Canada on December 8, 2021
5.0 out of 5 stars 4.5 Stars
Loved the idea of uncomplicated, simple baking and this book by Dorie has captured that extremely well. Reading her words feels like being with her in person. In her kitchen, just the two of you deciding what to make today. With a knowledgeable mentor, conversational, no pretentious mannerisms. Just here to help you explore your own baking style and plan.
I’ve baked the Everything Cake and the Miso Maple Loaf. Both were easy and turned out well. The Miso Maple Loaf looks stunning and sophisticated even though it’s straight forward to make. Both will be happily consumed again.
The photos and instructions are excellent. I highly recommend this cookbook for anyone looking for a foundational baking book with good details without being fussy. I just wish every recipe had a picture attached to it. Looking forward to making additional sweets and savoury concoctions in the years ahead.
