Dorie & Jacque – They Love Chocolate and Paris
Posted by Amy Ruth | Filed under TWD
[SinglePic not found]Yesterday, in the mail, I received the October issue of bon appetit. Earlier in the week in Dorie’s post she referred to her article in this issue (page 80) giving us the “heads up” to watch. Her word picture is about the French embracing their food and how it parallels with the structure or rules of their social graces. More than that, of course there is a recipe for Bacon Cheddar Quick Bread with Dried Pears. I think this may be the beginning of some new experiments at my house and as with many of you the making of more new friends. All I can think about is when her next book is revealed. Around the French Table by Dorie Greenspan. The title being the big hint that she is taking us on a fantastic journey to her hearts home in Paris and all of France. I am such a dreamer…I began to just imagine in my finite mind what she will bring to share with all of us. Imagine, another blog!!! Oh boy!!! Think we will have a bit of a wait according to the article I read it is slated for 2010. So we have plenty of time to get through Baking From My Home to Yours by Dorie Greenspan.
Is there anyone else out there whose heart pittie pats just a little to think of the adventures she will translate, of once in a lifetime experiences? Another acquisition I will look forward to adding to my collection. Even more revealing is the idea that as with this blog experience I may even cook my way through France with Dorie. Fun Fun….Anybody? Anybody?
As I was flipping through the magazine to find Dorie’s article I was transported in my mind back to candy store trips as a kid and then to present day baking Chocolate Malted Whopper Drops. Low and behold, do you know what I saw? Yes, of course you do. Whoppers! Beside each childhood favorite was the grown up chocolatier translation. I thought someone out there in the blogosphere might want the “grown up” version of Whoppers made by Jacque Torres. I could actually be sold on the dark chocolate version, maybe… How about you? It would be worthy of note if anyone chose to experiment with the big kid version. Check it out. I wonder if Dorie tried them in her baking trials??

Hi Amy Ruth – thanks for the sweet note; I love your blog too! I also anxiously await the next DG book…although 2010 seems so far away. Maybe we’ll be finished with Tuesdays with Dorie by then!

Ooh, I’m sure Jacques’ whoppers are better than Hershey’s or Mars’ versions!! Looking forward to Dorie’s next cookbook too!
