Episode 33: Dorie Greenspan

By: Michele Norris
Narrated by: Michele Norris
  • Summary

  • Cookbook author and baker extraordinaire Dorie Greenspan joins Michele to discuss the long, winding, and unforeseen journey to Dorie’s great baking career.

    Dorie grew up in a household that did not make home-cooked meals; cooking was not on her radar. But when Dorie’s perceptive husband witnessed how much Dorie loved baking, he encouraged her to pursue it, and Dorie did—with enthusiasm. In addition to having been mentored by food world icon Julia Child, Dorie has written 14 cookbooks, won five James Beard awards, and has her very own prized kitchen in Paris. In this episode, find out how Dorie’s story begins with mistakenly burning down her mother’s kitchen and ends with Dorie being one of the best bakers in the business—and stay tuned for a lovely soft-shell crab recipe Dorie loved to share with her mother on the back steps of her childhood Brooklyn home.

    Dorie Greenspan was born in Brooklyn and pursued a PhD in gerontology before becoming an internationally recognized cookbook author and baker. Dorie has been a columnist for The New York Times Magazine and The Washington Post and has twice won the Cookbook of the Year award from the International Association of Culinary Professionals. Dorie was awarded the Mérite d’Agricole—the Order of Agricultural Merit—by the French Consulate for her writings about France’s food. Today, she lives with her husband Michael in New York City, Westbrook, CT, and Paris, France.

A Journal About Your Journey To Cooking

I loved how Dori became interested in cooking to feed her husband. I love hearing about how she learned to cook from her mother-in-law’s recipes. The story about Dori meeting Julia Child and Jacques Pepin was hilarious.
