Lindy @CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian Do you know if she‘s tried any of the recipes? 3y

A Bakewell tart from the tagged cookbook. Any aficionados on Litsy? If you‘re not familiar, there‘s a short crust pastry bottom, then a layer of jam, then almond sponge cake topped with sliced almonds. I will get my English neighbours‘ opinion on it tomorrow when I take some over there.

Amiable Yum! Sounds delicious. 3y

sprainedbrain That sounds yummy. 3y

CarolynM I love a good Bakewell. Yours looks delicious!😋 3y

Simona Can I stop by? 😘 3y

I‘m still going strong with the tagged cookbook. Carrot Muffins. Too sweet! I cut the amount of sugar called for, but should have reduced it further.

quietlycuriouskate It's tricky, isn't it, because of the baking chemistry, but I often find cake recipes that look scrumptious are just too sweet for my taste these days. 3y

Lindy @kathedron There‘s a great Food52 article about how to calculate reducing sugar in baking: https://food52.com/blog/15911-what-experts-know-about-reducing-sugar-in-baking-r... 3y

World Peace Cookies from the tagged cookbook. Sinfully good.

wanderinglynn Those look yummy! 😋 3y

Lindy @wanderinglynn They sure are. That‘s flaky salt on the top; a perfect foil for the smooth buttery cookie with its chunks of semisweet chocolate. 3y

The Everything Cake, citrus variation, from the tagged cookbook. I used pink caracara oranges, Grand Marnier for flavour, beet powder to up the pink colour, reduced the eggs from 3 to 1, doubled the milk and doubled the baking powder (to make up for the missing eggs). Dorie Greenspan encourages us to play around with her recipes.

Avanders Interesting! 😯 Yummy? 3y

Lindy @Avanders It turned out pretty good. 😊 3y

Sour Cherry Spice Squares from the tagged cookbook. (I substituted the last of the frozen sour cherries from my garden for the frozen cranberries in the recipe. I also skipped the layer of cream cheese frosting.) Greenspan writes: “They look sweet, plain and old-fashioned, but their flavour turns out bright, sassy and tough to pin down.” Yes, I agree. 👍

monalyisha They look delicious! 3y

Lindy @monalyisha Thanks! And yes they are. I must package some up to give away before I eat them all. 😉 3y

kspenmoll Sounds delicious! 3y

Lindy @kspenmoll One of my neighbours reported back: she gave the cake 5 stars. 😊 3y

Olive Oil Brownies from the tagged cookbook. Greenspan writes: “The top should be even, but it will never be smooth.”

Raspberry-Lavender Muffins from the tagged cookbook.

Anna40 Ah lavender in baked goods is wonderful. I wish I could eat one of those muffins 🥰 3y

Lindy @Anna40 The recipe calls for steeping the lavender in melted butter, then straining out the flowers. Instead, I ground up the lavender and mixed it right in. I substituted some rye flour for part of the white flour to disguise the bits of lavender. Tastes great! 3y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Yum 😋 3y

Anna40 Sounds wonderful. I ate lavender in cake in an Arabic bakery for the first time. They used the lavender in the lemon glaze on top of the cake so not in the batter. It had a light almost faint lavender scent that made it 😋 3y

Lindy @Anna40 Nice! Lemon and lavender is a winning flavour combo that I‘ve used in ice cream. 3y

Lindy @Simona @AmyG Thanks! They taste great too. Lemon zest rubbed into the sugar before mixing everything together really ups the lemon factor. 3y

Lindy @LeahBergen I‘m not sure yet that it‘s a must have, but I‘m enjoying testing recipes. 3y

Daisey These look and sound delicious! 3y

Some holiday shopping today while visiting Naperville, Illinois: Anderson's #indie bookstore, Penzey's Spices (Embrace #Hope), and Adagio Teas. Calling it a great afternoon.

Greenspan offers fresh takes on some familiar recipes, as well as plenty of new and creative baking ideas. I‘ve stopped using Pinterest and food blogs for recipes because they invariably suck, so books like this ar every welcome in my kitchen. Any baker worth their rolling pin will want to take a look at this. Full review at http://itsallaboutthebook.org

The recipes and photos made my mouth water. So many interesting recipes I'd like to try. Cheese cakes, chocolate cakes, salted caramel dreams,...

I screenshot a few of the pages to make some of the cakes before pub day.

Do I need to emphasise that I've pre-ordered the book already?

Smarkies Love her! Hers are the baking books I pick up regularly. 😁 4y

Crazeedi Yum, it's so hard for me to bake because my husband doesn't even have a little sweet tooth! 4y

Cathythoughts I need chocolate now ! Looks divine 4y

Amandajoy Does this vary from her other baking books? 4y

julesG @Amandajoy I have no idea. This is the first of her books I read. 🙈 She's not that well known here in Germany. 4y
