Thank you, Dorie, for promoting this very interesting book. Great recipes and a great writer? A win-win in my book! I think I’ll pre-order, although I’m running out of room for more cookbooks! Safe travels and welcome home—to Paris I guess?—to you and Michael once you land!

Susan, don't we wish that cookbook space were magically expandable! Thanks for the good wishes - Michael and I are back in Paris and hoping that the jet lag will clear quickly - xoD

I will always try a new pancake recipe (feels low-stakes). These look fabulous.

Glad you’re back. Jet lag is tough. My husband and daughter flying back from Hong Kong Saturday/Sunday. It’ll take them a few days to re-acclimate. Give yourselves time…

Susan, it does take time to acclimate. Many people say you have to figure one day for each hour of time difference! I think I'm too impatient for jet lag. I hope your husband and daughter had a great trip that their jet lag will be mild and short-lived - xoD

Bonjour Dorie, Thanks for introducing us to this intriguing book. I was looking at the book sample on Amazon and it showed the list of recipes. This is something I wish they would always show for a cookbook, as skimming through the list helps me decide if it is for me. Anyway, I noticed under pastas, there are recipe for pasta 'using a scale' and 'without a scale'. How interesting.

Marsha, I hadn't thought about it, but having a list of recipes is, indeed, a great idea! Hard when there are many recipes, but invaluable to potential readers/cooks/buyers - xoD

Very intriguing book! Love the egg diagram and the tease of a Tweaked Tomato Butter Sauce (aka Marcella's sauce!). Though of course the pancake is the VEHICLE for great maple syrup like Deep Mountain Maple or Greene Maple Farm....to name just a couple. Yum!!

Mariangela, I know a lot of people who'd agree with you about the pancake being the vehicle for the syrup (pure maple syrup is a thing of beauty), but I'm putting in a word for these pancakes - they carry syrup really well, but they're so good that they don't really need much - xoD

How fascinating that there could be a whole cookbook about someone obsessed with finding the best recipe. Thanks for pointing this out. Those pancakes look fantastic.

Dianne, it's a really interesting premise and the author, Ella Quittner, carries it off really well - xoD
