As Tuesdays with Dorie grows, I find it necessary to list the rules. We do not have many, but the ones we do have are extremely important.
- You must own the book, Baking: From My Home to Yours by Dorie Greenspan.
- We always post on Tuesday. As long as you post when it is Tuesday for you, you are good to go.
- Everyone must participate at least two out of four weeks. If you participate every week, fantastic! If you participate every other week, grand! This is not up for negotiation.*
- You must have a blog to post your baking adventures on. This is the only real way for us to know that you are indeed baking along with us.
- If you must miss more than 2 weeks of a particular month, please email us and let us know! We are keeping track, so if you do not tell us you are on vacation, sick or having a baby, we do not know. Please take 2 seconds to send us a line.
That’s it, 5 rules. This isn’t rocket science, its baking people. But, we have these rules to keep the Recipe Rotation fair. Any questions, comments or complaints can be sent directly to tuesdayswithdorie AT gmail.com.
*If you go 4 weeks in a row without participating and we have not heard from you, we will assume you no longer want to be part of the group.
**This isn’t so much a rule as a kindly consideration. We ask that you not include the actual recipe on weekly TWD posts. We would like to promote the publishing industry by encouraging others to go buy the book, rather than get the recipes for free from TWD posts. I love books, so this is a no brainer for me.
***Please post the recipe of the week each week. Alternate ie ‘Rewind’ recipes will only be counted when it is stated in the weekly recipe post.
Thanks,
Laurie




This sound like such fun, I’ll have to get your book and join in the action, thanks!
I don’t have the book… yet – but it sound like lots of fun –
Especially the bit where you say:
“This isn’t rocket science, it’s baking people”
I love baking people!!!!
I e-mailed you last night, I was not sure what I was supposed to do next. We already have the cook book.Thanks!

I didn’t realize until I went visiting other posts that we were not allowed to post the recipe. I have since edited my post but you might want to add that fact to the rules in case there are more dumb bunnies like me.
thanks natashya, i needed this answer. I was just typing up the recipe and decided to check the rules. . You are right, may want to include in the rules.
What are rewind recipes?
James- “Rewind Recipes” are recipes from the book that TWD has completed.
I emailed earlier about wanting to join. I have the book and am ready to bake!! Can I be added to the list?
I emailed sometime ago…I would really like to join….how can I be added?
Thanks
Rachelle
Ciao ! I found out about your book some time ago.. I ordered the book and now I’ ready ! today it’s a Tuesday so I’ll start from the next. Will that be Ok ? ciao
This looks like so much fun! I am tempted to get the book just so I can play, too. Do you have a book picked out for after you’ve baked all the recipes in this one?
- Heather
Ooops! I didn’t check the rules, so I’ll go delete the recipe from my Granola Grabbers post
I just bought the book from half.com and as soon as it arrives, I will be in touch!
Have signed on . . . baked the Chocolate Malted Whopper Drops, but am handier in the kitchen than on the computer. Have no idea how to start a blog. Help!
So to be clear…We don’t have to BAKE on tuesday, we just have to POSTon tuesday?
I believe you email me… I will post tomorrow (Tuesday)… I want to make sure I get in! I love to bake and cook! And I have the book! I love the booko!
I just received the book as a birthday gift and am wow-ed. I have already made some goodies out of my sisters book ..Can’t wait!!
Loved the book and the Almond Biscotti recipe! Thanks for sharing with us all!
oh…I have just sent u and email but just known I have to own the book…Actually I am finding the book in Kinokuniya a few week ago but they ran out of it…I will find it other places….
I just join the group but i coulnd’t find what’s the recipe for the coming Tuesday (4.11.08)??
Hi, When I joined through email, I think I omitted sending you my web address…so I’m sending it now, just in case. Thanks!
Oooh, so exciting. I just made the Oct. 31 cutoff, and will be starting with the Kugelhopf recipe. Did have a general question about the recipes we make–can we make adjustments to them? For example, can I substitute things like whole wheat flour, EggBeaters, Earth Balance, things like that? And can we adjust baking pans, ie. if it’s a cake, can we make them into cupcakes? Thanks! Can’t wait to get started…
Hi, HappyTummy! I’ll let Laurie have the final word on this, but as far as I know, those kinds of variations are just fine. Certainly I’ve seen other folks do them. I love seeing all the variations!
As I understand it, the most important thing is to start from Dorie’s recipe. Some folks like to follow the recipe exactly, some make a few changes, some make a lot. That’s part of the fun!
Thanks Barbara, good to know! I actually did make a few adjustments to the Kugelhopf recipe, so I’m glad it’s OK to make variations. I’m excited to see how everyone did this week
Hi all, I’m really new to blogging and just started one so that I could join. I do own the book and have made recipes in it all ready. Please let me know what else is necessary to join.
Thanks!!
I just got my book in the mail today so I should be joining in on the fun next week!!
STephanie
Hmm. I’m trying to figure out how to e-mail anyone- am I missing a listed contact e-mail? Thanks.
Just want to know how I can join the bakers
on TWD…please let me know what I have to
do. I own the book I just need to join in on
the baking fun!
I am very excited about joining. My current blog is just a regular blog about being a waitress and a mom and such. Is it OK to post my TWD posts on it? Or should I start another blog for food stuffs?
Are you still closed to new bakers? You guys closed it off right as I was forming my blog. I’m really into it now and would love to join your group. I noticed you have some new members and some of the TWD bloggers I frequent have dropped out recently so I thought… Let me know. I’d be so happy to join you!
Thanks!
When (if!) you have a second, will you please change the blogroll listing for Confectiona’s Realm to http://www.confectiona.com? Thanks!
I just called Barnes and Noble and they are holding the book for me to pick up this evening:) I would be tickled to join your group! Please let me know! THANK YOU!
Also, do I need a blog that is exclusively devoted to food?
I would love to join your group. I have a food blog and the required book. Just let me know what I need to do. Thanks!
[...] at CookBookHabit chose this week’s treat, World Peace Cookies, page 138-139. The rules of TWD state that the recipe should not be posted, so I will just post a picture! World Peace [...]
Am buying the book and I have a Blog! What else do I need to do to be a part of this group?
I just bought the book. Is there anything else I need to join this group?
Hello … I have my book and am all ready to bake. Please let me know what my next step is. Thanks!
Hi guys – I noticed on the blog roll my new website URL hadn’t been updated. Who can I send this to?
Thanks.
Hi Laurie,
I respectfully request reinstatement. I was accepted in the autumn and then I promptly came down with pneumonia…for almost 6 weeks. I am certainly ready to participate now.
Hoping,
Martha
Laurie,
In March, I made the Lemon Cup (3/10) and Coconut Butter Thins (3/31). I have not had a chance to post the Coconut Butter Thins, but have every intention of doing so as soon as possible. I have had several deadlines and events that have made it impossible for me to sit in front of the computer and blog.
Thanks for your consideration,
Dragana.
Hi, guys…
It looks like I’ve been fired! I can’t bake along every week but I think I’ve always hit two out of four (except for December, but I had said I was moving then!)
Anyway, I’m not on the recipe rotation or the list to the right anymore…???

I emailed a while ago (over a week ago) but haven’t heard back… Can i Join?
This sounds like fun! I bought the book today and am looking forward to joing the fun!
I hope I can become a member again…
I have moved and just unpacked my baking items and my book! Please re-add me! http://www.craftyjuicebroker.wordpress.com
I love to bake and I absolutely love your book!
Cherie
I emailed today and I’m so eager that I thought I’d make a post too! haha I’m really ready to join, have the book, totally agree to the rules, just need to know what to do next?!
Can’t wait to bake with you!
-Sarah
I purchased the cook book and am ready to join and start baking. Please tell me what to do next. I love to bake and love to take pictures and can’t wait to get started.
Would love to join in on this. Such a great idea! I have had the book for a little over a month now and if you are open to new participants (will blog and tweet) I would love to post the next recipe on my blog.
Thank you for the addition. I whole-heartedly agree to the rules! I have the book in hand, the pantry is stocked, and the blog is waiting for my first post. I’m excited my first post will be the Allspice Crumb Muffins! See you Tuesday!
Hi,
So I now have the book. I am not totally clear. All I do is post on my own blog? That’s it? I will start with the next recipe after the muffins.
I am super new to the whole blog thing. I love reading everyone’s blogs and recipes, so I decided to give it a shot! I love baking and am all excited about joining the group. Just bought the book this weekend–wow! I am getting ready to make the all spice muffins…see y’all on Tuesday!

I emailed a couple of weeks ago but have never heard back. I have the book and wanted to play so bad that I went ahead and started with the Split-Level Pudding last week and today the Allspice Crumb Muffins were to die for… I have posted our outcome of both recipes on our blog at http://www.thepantrylife.blogspot.com. I hope I am okay in doing this. I just wanted to check in… should I send in another email?
[...] that in mind, I decided the other week to join, Tuesdays with Dorie which is a baking club from Dorie Greenspan’s cookbook Baking from My Home to [...]
