A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

For Baking: From My Home to Yours: James Beard Foundation Award Winner "An unfaddish and inventive collection from the gifted baker...she has a wonderfully encouraging voice. Among the book's appealing recipes are a host of unusual Christmas cookie possibilities..."--The New York Times Book Review

"A hot-off-the-presses classic: coauthor with Julia Child and others, indispensable has written her own authoritative 514 page volume featuring homey goodies as well as soigné holiday desserts. Perfect late night reading for cookbook addicts."--People

"Ms. Greenspan's accomplished approach is evident in this handsome, lavishly photographed book. There are those helpful hints, which enhance about every page, and an array of recipes that goes beyond cakes and pies to stove-top puddings, custards and ice creams. This is a book to open time and again when you want to bake an irresistible dessert from scratch, like the delicious fig cake for fall with its port wine sauce, or have a batch of cookies, like the tender sour cream-chocolate cake cookies, handy for family snacking. And when your assignment for a potluck dinner is to bring the dessert, you will not go wrong with the toasted coconut custard tart."--Florence Fabricant, The New York Times

"[BAKING] contains not only her favorite recipes but also an ample serving of the knowledge she has acquired over the past 30 years, during which she has baked nearly every day. Greenspan, who has written books with Julia Child and Pierre indispensable, is reluctant to put herself forward (a quality all the more endearing in this era of culinary celebrity), volunteering her personal experience only when it pertains to the recipe at hand, but her personality comes through nonetheless, and the glimpses are refreshing."--T: The New York Times Style Magazine

"In the cookbook trade, indispensible is not a word to throw around lightly. But in the case of Dorie Greenspan's Baking: From My Home to Yours, the accolade fits...Greenspan's approachable writing style, practical instructions and seemingly bottomless supply of tempting variations --paired with Alan Richardson's sensuous photography--make this a guide that bakers of all stripes will gleefully return to again and again."--Minneapolis Star Tribune

"Baking at its best."--Publishers Weekly, starred review

"Hundreds of foolproof recipes. Baking is a book to bake from, to share with family and friends, and to pass on to future generations."--Nick Malgieri, author of A Baker's Tour and Perfect Cakes

"A masterpiece for every home baker, this is a book that will enhance the joy of baking and elicit five-star reviews from family and friends for years to come." -- Flo Braker, author of Sweet Miniatures and The Simple Art of Perfect Baking

For Dorie Greenspan: "A culinary guru"--The New York Times Winner: 2008 James Beard Journalism Award for "When French Women Bake" (Bon Appétit) Winner: 2001 Gourmand World Award for Best Cookbook English language: Chocolate Desserts by Pierre Hermé Winner 2001 IACP Cookbook of the Year: Desserts by Pierre Hermé

"Dorie Greenspan is one of the few recipe writers who is able to convey an actual sense of voice. Read her instructions and you sense a real person there, someone who is a good cook, who has prepared this recipe before and who is there to help should you stumble." --Los Angeles Times

Présentation de l'éditeur :

When Julia Child told Dorie Greenspan, “You write recipes just the way I do,” she paid her the ultimate compliment. Julia’s praise was echoed by the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times, which referred to Dorie’s “wonderfully encouraging voice” and “the sense of a real person who is there to help should you stumble.”   Now in a big, personal, and personable book, Dorie captures all the excitement of French home cooking, sharing disarmingly simple dishes she has gathered over years of living in France.
Around My French Table includes many superb renditions of the great classics: a glorious cheese-domed onion soup, a spoon-tender beef daube, and the “top-secret” chocolate mousse recipe that every good Parisian cook knows—but won’t reveal.   Hundreds of other recipes are remarkably easy: a cheese and olive quick bread, a three-star chef’s Basque potato tortilla made with a surprise ingredient (potato chips), and an utterly satisfying roast chicken for “lazy people.”   Packed with lively stories, memories, and insider tips on French culinary customs, Around My French Table will make cooks fall in love with France all over again, or for the first time.
