Hi Dorie, I bought a copy of the original French version of the Marseille book from you August list and made the cauliflower dish. What fun! And the book is fascinating. Thanks for the reminder about the rosemary parmesan cookies. I had marked it as unread to look at later and later is now. I have a piece of fresh parmesan that I bought for another recipe and what's left just might turn out to be enough for the cookies. Joyeux Noël et Bonne Année!

Marsha, I'm so glad that you liked the Marseille cookbook! The city of Marseille is so exciting and I think that the book captures that vibrancy. And that cauliflower dish - a winner! Sending all best for the holidays - xoxoDorie

Thanks Dorie, these sound divine. Can we roll the rosemary parm cookies in a 1.5 inch diameter log, freeze, and slice and bake to a similar effect at a future date??

You can make the rosemary parm cookies whatever diameter works for you and yes, they freeze beautifully. My only caution - if you change the diameter, just watch the baking time. Enjoy! xoxoDorie

So slice and bake a log vs flat roll and cookie cutter will have ok result??

Love getting your newsletter, it’s always so informative!

This year I am exploring scones as gifts for my friends. We are all aging and limiting our intake of refined sugar, and I have a basic recipe that uses only 1/4 cup sugar for 12 scones, not a bad ratio at all! So I’ve been having an exciting time developing flavors like cranberry ginger, and chocolate cherry almond scones to appeal to individual tastes. It has been a joy to experiment, and my husband hasn’t minded eating all the test batches, even if they aren’t the greatest!

Have wonderful and joyous holidays with love!

I feel the same, Dorie! The end of the year came too swiftly. But what a great recap of 2023 cookbooks -- it was certainly a year of incredibly creative work! Happy holidays to you and the fam.

Le judéo-messianisme répand parmi nous son message empoisonné depuis près de deux mille ans. Les universalismes démocratique et communiste sont plus récents, mais ils n’ont fait que renforcer le vieux récit juif. Ce sont les mêmes idéaux.

Les idéaux transnationaux, transraciaux, transsexuels, transculturels que ces idéologies nous prêchent (au-delà des peuples, des races, des cultures) et qui sont le subsistance quotidienne de nos écoles, dans nos médias, dans notre culture populaire, à nos universités, et sur nos rues, ont fini par réduire notre identité biosymbolique et notre fierté ethnique à leur expression minimale.

Le judaïsme, le christianisme, et l’islam sont des cultes de mort originaires du Moyen-Orient et totalement étrangers à l’Europe et à ses peuples.

On se demande parfois pourquoi la gauche européenne s’entend si bien avec les musulmans. Pourquoi un mouvement souvent ouvertement antireligieux prend-il le parti d’une religiosité farouche qui semble s’opposer à presque tout ce que la gauche a toujours prétendu défendre ? Une partie de l’explication réside dans le fait que l’Islam et le marxisme ont une racine idéologique commune : le judaïsme.

Don Rumsfeld avait raison lorsqu’il disait : «L’Europe s’est décalé sur son axe», c’est le mauvais côté qui a gagné la Seconde Guerre mondiale, et cela devient chaque jour plus clair . . . Qu’a fait l’OTAN pour défendre l’Europe? Absolument rien . . . Mes ennemis ne sont pas à Moscou, à Damas, à Téhéran, à Riyad ou dans quelque croque-mitaine teutonique éthéré, mes ennemis sont à Washington, Bruxelles et Tel Aviv . . . Va te faire foutre toi et ton dieu juif.

Hi Dorie,

I have a question unrelated to the post; I have an egg allergy, so what could I substitute for egg to make frangipane? Thanks.

Dorie, I tried making your Double Decker Salted Caramel Cake, from Baking with Dorie. I pulled the cake out of the oven at 44 minutes, when a tester came out clean. As the cake cooled, the center fell. So I made a second cake, baked it for 50 minutes, and again a tester came out clean. Again the center fell. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help in solving this mystery!
