What Makes Dorie Greenspan’s Recipes So Good?

Ask folks in the world of food and cookbooks, “Who writes the best recipes?” and you’ll hear one name more than any other: Dorie Greenspan. "Dorie does rock solid recipes," says Chandra Ram, who judges the prestigious IACP Cookbook Awards. So what's Dorie doing that makes her recipes better than others? This week, we travel to her home in Connecticut to find out. We watch her test a recipe, and get a look at her butter fridge. We also hear how Julia Child helped shape her career.

Dorie's new book is Dorie's Anytime Cakes and her newsletter is XOXO Dorie.
