Dorie Greenspan Interview

Posted by | Oct 1, 2010 |

Dorie Greenspan is a James Beard Award winning pastry chef and cookbook author, famously former colleague and friend of Julia Child, and a food blogging pioneer – her website doriegreenspan.com, like its namesake, is equally loved and respected.
