Why didn't I buy this book sooner?
Baking: From My Home to Yours is one of my new favourites and I only wished I had purchased it sooner. Every recipe I've tried has turned out beautifully.
For each recipe,Dorie has an amazing ability to make it feel like she's standing right next to you in the kitchen talking you through the steps.
There is also a hints and tips page for each section, in which Dorie goes into great detail so you get the best results possible.
I also love the 'playing around' extras for each recipe - it's basically giving you lots of variations to one recipe.
With 300+ recipes in Baking: From My Home to Yours, plus the tips, hints and variations, on these things alone I highly recommend the book. The fact that you also get the wonderful narration and stories from Dorie is ... Read More
Beautiful book, fantastic recipes
I purchased Baking: From My Home to Yours as a gift for my daughter-in-law who loves to bake. The photographs are beautiful and the recipes are varied and well-explained by the author.

Instead I got rice soup. Nothing in Baking: From My Home to Yours turns out correctly, and I can guarantee you that I'm watching every last thing and have ... Read More
A must have cookbook
Fantastic in everyway! The selection of recipes, the layout of the cookbook, the photography, the directions, everything! I have made over a dozen recipes and I look forward to the next dozen. I also love her little introductions to the recipes because I feel connected to the recipe prior to getting to work in the kitchen. I trust Baking: From My Home to Yours and I trust Dorie Greenspan.
