These chili crisp cheese crackers are already a house favorite

I was so excited to bake them after finding them in Helen Goh's new book, "Baking and the Meaning of Life"

Hello! Hello!

I’m back in America. Back in Connecticut. But only just back and only just for the flip of a page. Next week at this time I’ll be in San Francisco, where I’ll discover if I won the round of Tetris that balances packing cubes and overhead bins. I’ll also discover what it’s like to have a new book out in the world. Yeah, yeah, Dorie’s Anytime Cakes is my 15th book, but if you think that anything about a book launch is old hat — or truly knowable — even after so many, then you’ve never been through one. So many moving parts! What I know will be the same is the happiness that comes from meeting bakers, cooks and readers at every stop. It’s my favorite part of a book tour and it’s what I’m most looking forward to now. That, and seeing what bakers have made. Some people got early copies of the book and have been baking from it. I find it thrilling! Thank you everyone who’s posted pictures. I try to see them all and acknowledge each post — I hope I haven’t missed anyone. Please …
