Dorie Greenspan is something of a goddess to home bakers: not only are her recipes unfailingly delicious, but the directions that accompany them are both reassuring and authoritative.

Greenspan possesses an ease and charm as generous and homespun as her desserts: she's not afraid to admit past mistakes (as she does in a humorous remembrance of a cake that got her fired from a restaurant), and you can imagine that she'd be tolerant of yours, too. Given her mastery of traditional French pastry and love of more down-home delights, the book offers something for everyone, whether you're craving a Parisian apple tartlet or poppy seed muffins.

Takeaway Tips: Greenspan organizes her chapters by baked good genus: chapter titles like "A Cache of Cookies" and "Breakfast Sweets" hint at the wonders contained within. All of the recipes include helpful serving and storage tips, and many have a "Playing Around" sidebar that provides ideas for recipe variations.

See what we tested and whether the book's worth buying after the jump.

Monday Night Brownie Sundaes

Several weeks ago on a Monday evening, Scott and I met up at home. Our individual days at work had battered us nearly beyond recognition and we needed something to raise our spirits. It was decided that the only thing that could help were brownie sundaes.

I pulled Dorie Greenspan's Baking: From My Home to Yours down off the shelf, surveyed the ingredient list and began to bake. The moment the scent of melting chocolate arrived at our noses, the stresses of the day eased. While I don't believe in turning to food to solve all of life's problems, those brownies truly redeemed our otherwise crappy days. I would recommend you keep this recipe on hand for those moments when nothing but chocolate will do.

Feast Your Eyes: Owl-O-Ween cupcake

The Slashfood Flickr pool is awash in glorious Halloween-themed cupcakes and cookies right at the moment, thanks to a bounty of creative and generous bakers. This particular cupcake comes to us from Ezra Pound Cake and is actually a Tuesdays with Dorie challenge mixed with decorating instructions from Hello, Cupcake!

The cakes are Dorie Greenspan's Chocolate-Chocolate Cupcakes and the decorations are nothing more than Oreo cookies, M&Ms and some artfully applied frosting (head over to Ezra Pound Cake for more detailed instructions).

Thanks Rebecca, for adding this picture to the pool!

Feast Your Eyes: Chocolate pudding

Between this and Deb's chocolate sorbet, I am positively dying for a chocolate dessert of some kind (what are you people doing to me!). The chocolate pudding was made by Maya at My Feasts and was part of the the Tuesdays with Dorie cooking challenge. I could go for a big old spoonful right about now!

Thanks to Maya for adding her pic to the Slashfood Flickr pool! Remember to snap some photos of the delicious dishes you cook up this weekend and add them to the group.

Feast Your Eyes: Orange berry muffins

Oh muffins. Is there any time of the day when you aren't delicious? You're good in the morning or as an afternoon snack. You're especially nice in the evening, leftover from breakfast or brunch. Personally, I like to stash a few in the freezer, for those times when I need a sweet snack that isn't too cloying or unhealthy (I try to make my muffins fairly low sugar and high fiber). These particular Orange Berry Muffins look like they would satisfy the baked good monster that lives inside of me. Baked and photographed by Slow Like Honey, the recipe can be found here.
