Dorie Greenspan is back on the pod! Dorie is a beloved baker and bestselling cookbook author, who just released her 15th (!) cookbook. She joins host Jessie Sheehan to chat about “Dorie’s Anytime Cakes”—a collection of more than 100 irresistible “counter cakes,” the kind that sit on your counter and call you back for just one more slice.

Dorie also shares what inspired her to fill this book with charming illustrations instead of traditional photography and takes Jessie behind the scenes of her creative process. The two talk about the desserts Dorie ate growing up in Brooklyn, the weekly brown paper bags of baked goods her grandmother brought over, and how her past recipes for The New York Times helped her develop the ones in her new book. And, of course, Dorie walks Jessie through her Devil’s Chocolate Cake. (Don’t miss her surprising tip involving a hair dryer!)
