TWD History
January 29, 2008
I received Baking: From My Home to Yours by Dorie Greenspan as a Christmas gift in 2007. I made a New Year’s resolution to try to bake one recipe a week from this brilliant book. But, I knew I would have trouble without someone to nudge me along. You see, I am not so great with follow through. So, I asked on my first TWD post if anyone would like to join me.
What I did not know, is that in 6 months, we would jump from me to 200. I have had such a blast baking every week with this group. Choice of recipes is rotated in order of membership. Baking can be done anytime during the week, but we ALL post ON Tuesday. I have made some wicked good friends through TWD, and I seriously cannot imagine my weeks without it.

TWD is kept in tip top shape with the help of Nikki, Clara and Shari. Thanks for all you do ladies. I am truly appreciative.

Ohh, great idea. I have had this book up in my bookcase for months now and am just looking for an excuse to bake more from it!

I am hoping to join you guys after Lent is over, I gave up baking for these 40 days, so until then I have to salivate over the beautiful treats you guys bake up each week!

I recently asked for the book, but as I live in Chile it will take a pretty ling while to arrive. Anyway, I love TWD and I hope I can participate

I have ordered the book from Amazon, now I am sitting at the window with the puppies, just waiting to bark happily at the postal carrier.

[...] not sure of how I found that Web site, but I kind of fell in love with the idea of Tuesdays with Dorie: amateur cooks from far and wide all struggling with a common recipe at the same time, and then [...]

Dorie,
How can I tell you about something you might find fascinating?
Chocolate that has been embedded with Love and Good Intentions by Tibetan Monks.
Esquire Magazine’s Chef of the Year Uses Chocolate with Invisible Ingredient
“Food is energy and we can be more nourished by it if it is prepared with love and intention. This is one of the reasons I use Intentional Chocolate, because there is good intent infused into the making of it. I believe intention is this ingredient that makes it beautiful to work with and really delicious.” -
-Dominique Crenn, Chef, Luce Restaurant, San Francisco
Can I send you some to try yourself?

I see that you are not accepting new members, but I’m wondering if you have a way to let us know when you are. Is there a waitlist?

Hello, I just discovered you!! I am new to blogging, however not new to baking. Started baking, from scratch at 7 (41 years ago) and am quite passionate about it. I have been using Dorie’s books for years and would love to be a part of this wonderful community. Please let me know when you decide to accept new members. Thanks!
