Blogs I love:

Author, Dorie Greenspan's. Her latest book is, Baking, From My Home to Yours.

Why do I love Dories Blog? Because in times of stress (or boredom or plain old fashioned envy) I can live vicariously through her.

And...Every Single Recipe She Creates, Works.

And Every Single recipe of hers I've tried, I LOVE.

In particular (this week) and especially, her recipe for, Pierre Herme's Most Extraordinary French Lemon Tart (which she recently "re-thunk" on her blog) so If you're going to attempt it (and I highly recommend that you do) read her Lemon Tart Crib Notes before you prepare the tart for the first time.
