Can't agree more! I never use a recipe that don't specify ingredients in weight as I would not know whether I am getting things in the right proportion or not :)
I actually said this to my mom. She gave me a bunch of recipes but all in American measures and I now live in the U.K. she actually measured out her sugar cookie recipe for me so I would make it 🙂 (I still haven’t as have found recipes I like better 😅)
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!
Such an inspiring group of women. Thank you for highlighting and sharing their work! I will definitely be adding some new cookbooks to my collection that I somehow missed!
Liz Prueitt gets it!!! The world needs to use scales!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely!!!

I have two of these books, Simple and Tartine.
Absolutely loved reading the interviews with such amazing women for IWD. Thank you Nicola 😊
I’m so happy to have shared their wisdom. I can highly recommend all of their books to add to your collection 🥰
Love this Nicola, so fascinating -- thank you! X
My pleasure!!!

I saved this email so I could read it on a weekend with a coffee - such a special group of ladies x
This is so great thank you! I do now want to buy many many new recipe books 😱
Wonderful idea to interview these wonderful women who are mentors to thousands of home bakers. A joyous and encouraging read. Thanks.
Just loved this post & all the knowledge & joy shard within it. Thank you for introducing me to these wonderful women & their books! 💗

Wow! So many inspiring pastry chefs
What a treasure trove of wisdom, creativity, and hard won experience. I will be re-reading this newsletter again and again. Thank you!
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.
