COOK THIS: Everyday Dorie by Dorie Greenspan
Twice a month our writer cooks from the book and decides if these farm-to-table recipes are worth the investment.
You know Dorie Greenspan, either because you’re a Francophile who envies her epicurean Parisian life, or because you love baking and, well, she’s pretty good at that. But her new book, Everyday Dorie (Rux Martin Books/Houghton Mifflin Harcourt; $35) is focused on neither of these. The recipes in here are what Dorie cooks on a Tuesday night, after changing into track pants and scouring the crisper bin. (I’m kidding; Dorie would never wear track pants.) These dishes are both practical and delicious, bringing together a global pantry of flavors as Dorie lets you know what you can make ahead, how to store and reheat it, and how to adapt the recipe to whatever you found in your crisper bin. And while these dishes are straightforward and unpretentious, there’s plenty in here to serve up to guests, unexpected or not, including a generous dessert selection.
On a recent Saturday, I made the Mediterranean Shepherd’s Pie for friends because miserable fall weather means that I need extra mashed potatoes in my life. The filling is made with a mix of ground meat and sausage, and she encourages you to choose pretty much whatever combo you want—I went with ground turkey and pork sausage. Veggie-wise, there are crushed tomatoes, butternut squash and spinach. It’s all seasoned with flavors from the southern shores of the Med: cumin, sumac, harissa paste and za’atar, before being topped with buttery mashed potatoes and baked. Not to brag, but some said this was the best shepherd’s pie they had eaten.
I also made the Cornmeal-Buttermilk Loaf Cake, and like the pie, the recipe is practically bulletproof. Dorie is a real hand-holder, meaning those brand new to the kitchen will be able to pull off most of these recipes. But experienced cooks are going to love the flavors, Dorie’s insights and the sheer dependability of these dishes.
