YIPPEE!!!!!

Three seems to be my magic number today.  Here’s all the good news I got this morning:

My newest book, BAKING FROM MY HOME TO YOURS, was nominated for both a James Beard Cookbook Award and a Cookbook Award from the IACP (International Association of Culinary Professionals).

And, as though that isn’t thrilling enough, I just learned that at the James Beard Awards Ceremony in May I will be inducted into the Who’s Who of Food and Beverage in America.

I’m so excited I can barely breathe. I wonder if Champagne would help...

Congratulations to you for a well deserved award!Thank you so much for this book...I am having the time of my life baking through it!

I love your chocolate amaretti torte and have made it numerous times. A couple of years ago, I devised a simple way to make it appropriate for Passover: I substitute ground macaroons for the ground amaretti cookies. Delicious.

For very kosher homes, I substitute margarine for the butter and kosher chocolate for real chocolate. It's still very good, just not as great as with real ingredients.

Congratulations, Dorie. Your Who's Who induction is overdue and a culinary milestone, and your book nominations are very well deserved. I salute you on a lustrious career!

A comment from The Netherlands! I know that the first two ww's in www stand for world wide, but I still get knocked out when I think of how we can send our thoughts, dreams, ideas and work around the world with just a click.

Thank you everyone for this outpouring of good wishes. I really don't have words to describe how much your encouragement means to me.

[Lien]

Congratulations Dorie. Well deserved. Yes even overhere in the Netherlands you're known. Especially with "baking". Though we still have to order the books form Amazon. I just bought your "paris sweets", looking forward on baking something out of it!!
Good luck at all the events!!!

Congratulations Dorie! You really created something wonderful with that book - I know I will keep it forever... you deserve all accolades!

[Surcie]

Way to go!

[Jenny]

Congratulations Dorie! You deserve the nominations, and the awards! Can't wait to read about your celebration after you win!

[Dorie]

A fabulous new dress ... now why didn't I think of that?

Congratulations, Deborah, on your Epicurious listing.

[Deborah Dowd]

What a thrill it must be to be recognized this way. I was excited just to see my blog listed as a TWS Epicurious Food Blog I Like!

You have a beautiful blog and I will have to search out your book (even though my husband may divoce me if I bring home anymore cookbooks!)
As for the acclaim...Enjoy! This calls not only for champagne but a fabulous new dress!

FELICITATIONS!!!!! Pop open the Veuve! :)

[Dorie]

Again and again and again, again -- THANK YOU! I am so truly and deeply touched by your good wishes, kind words and generous encouragement. It means so very much to me.

And, yes, I did have Champagne -- a couple of times! Did it calm me? Nope. Was it delicious and fun? You bet.

Congratulations, Dorie, that's unbelievably good news and very richly deserved. Did you try Champagne therapy after all?

[Sara]

Totally deserved!

Bravo, félicitations et... mais bien sûr! You have confirmed the accuracy and credibility of these awards, and have now seen to it that the Who's Who of F&B is complete! Here's to all of that Champagne, but with some macarons and licorice to go with it - the celebration wouldn't be complete without them! Gros bisous!

[Anita]

Dorie,
I am sure everyone in the blogosphere would agree the first honor is completely expected and deserved:) As for the second, I'm only surprised it didn't come sooner!

Congratulations - I hope you are enjoying every moment of this!

[Rona]

I am so thrilled for you! You've given us this wonderful
book and deserve the recognition.
Nominations...inductions...you're a winner already!
Remember, you are the gift...the book is the icing. Cheers chérie.

[Christine]

Congratulations, Dorie! The nomination couldn't have gone to a more deserving person. :)

[Lori in PA]

A day of triple delights -- how exciting! I'm so pleased for you. Sometimes it seems in our age we hand out gold stars for breathing, but your hard work and contributions are worthy of the recognition you are receiving. Enjoy a little bask!

[Kristen]

This is such an honor for you and such an accomplishment. It doesn't surprise me one bit as all this goodness is very well deserved. Congrats!

[Lisa]

Congratulations, Dorie! No one deserves this more than you.. and I can say that with confidence because your book and ONLY your book has taught me that baking can be accomplished successfully in my kitchen! hehe

I'm just tickled for you =)

Dorie

Congratulations on your nominations--very well deserved.

I am so glad I found your site and your blog. I recently "discovered" I've had one of your cookbooks (Waffles) for more than a decade--which is probably why Baking felt so familiar and comforting--like an old friend cooking with me :)

[Bonnie]
