Nicola, thank you so much for including me in this fabulous edition of your (always fabulous) newsletter. I was thrilled to be here with you and the women you chose to highlight - each so talented and so inspiring- xoxo Dorie

Great set of questions and so fun to learn more about these baking icons!! So much wisdom and experience! And so intriguing that even Dorie doesn’t have a very systematic way of approaching organization of her book project until the end. I think I can see that since her recipes are very much “what I’m loving right now” or “what I’ve been recently inspired by” sort of feel. Thanks for doing this, Nicola! Maybe you are inadvertently doing valuable research for a possible future project of your own too? 🤔😜

What a lovely read! I admire all of these bakers, so it was a great treat to read these interviews and learn more about their baking philosophies and working styles. The best part? Learning that Helen Goh has a new book coming out in 2024!

This really was a treat, thank you! The fat affecting gluten thing was new to me, and I can't wait to see how it will affect my baking.
