2007 Beard Award Winner! Dorie Greenspan has written recipes for the most eminent chefs in the world: Pierre Hermé, Daniel Boulud, and arguably the greatest of them all, Julia Child, who once told Dorie, You write recipes just the way I do. Her recipe writing has won widespread praise for its literate curiosity and patient but exuberant style. (One hard-boiled critic called it a joy forever.) In Baking: From My Home to Yours, her masterwork, Dorie applies the lessons from three decades of experience to her first and real love: home baking. The 300 recipes will seduce a new generation of bakers, whether their favorite kitchen tools are a bowl and a whisk or a stand mixer and a bakers torch. Even the most homey of the recipes are very special. Dories favorite raisin swirl bread. Big spicy muffins from her stint as a baker in a famous New York City restaurant. French chocolate brownies (a Parisian pastry chef begged for the recipe). A dramatic black and white cake for a wow occasion. Pierre Hermés extraordinary lemon tart. The generous helpings of background information, abundant stories, and hundreds of professional hints set Baking apart as a one-of-a-kind cookbook. And as if all of this weren’t more than enough, Dorie has appended a fascinating mini book, A Dessert makers Glossary, with more than 100 entries, from why using ones fingers is often best, to how to buy the finest butter, to how the bundt pan got its name. Dorie Greenspan has written or cowritten eight cookbooks, including Baking with Julia, which won a James Beard Award and an IACP Award; Desserts by Pierre Hermé, which was named IACP Cookbook of the Year; and Chocolate Desserts by Pierre Hermé, which won the Gourmand World Cookbook Award for the best English-language cookbook. She created many recipes for The All-New Joy of Cooking and is a special correspondent for Bon Appétit, for which she writes the Tools of the Trade column.

This is a wonderful bread to serve with that Easter dinner. Be sure to have plenty of butter or better yet apple butter to smother each slice with.
This is truly one of our best bread recipes. Do not be afraid of the yeast. It is easier than you think. If you wish you can add one teaspoon of sugar to your dough, with your yeast, it will make the raising process faster; I often do it when I’m in a hurry. I also place the bread in any warm place I can find. I have a friend who places it in her bed, under the duvet, with the electric blanket switched on!! Can you believe it?
Okay, so now you have two of our best bread recipes, what do you think of them?

Owners of an automatic bread machine know it’s the hot new kitchen appliance that takes the kneading, shaping, proofing and frustration out of baking bread. Now the authors, who tested thousands of loaves using all the major brands of bread machines, offer more than 130 recipes for making amazing homemade bread. Includes: Zucchini Carrot Bread, Authentic Deli Rye, Irish Soda Bread, and many more.
An anonymous gift sends a woman on a journey she never could have anticipated.   One afternoon, Julia Evarts and her five-year-old daughter, Gracie, arrive home to find an unexpected gift on the front porch: a homemade loaf of Amish Friendship Bread and a simple note: I hope you enjoy it. Also included are a bag of starter, instructions on how to make the bread herself, and a request to share it with others. Still reeling from a personal tragedy that left her estranged from the sister who was once her best friend, Julia remains at a loss as to how to move on with her life. She’d just as soon toss the anonymous gift, but to make Gracie happy, she agrees to bake the bread.   When Julia meets two newcomers to the small town of Avalon, Illinois, she sparks a connection by offering them her extra bread starter. Widow Madeline Davis is laboring to keep her tea salon afloat while Hannah Wang de Brisay, a famed concert cellist, is at a crossroads, her career and marriage having come to an abrupt end. In the warm kitchen of Madeline’s tea salon, the three women forge a friendship that will change their lives forever. In no time, everyone in Avalon is baking Amish Friendship Bread. But even as the town unites for a benevolent cause and Julia becomes ever closer to her new friends, she realizes the profound necessity of confronting the painful past she shares with her sister. About life and loss, friendship and community, food and family, Friendship Bread tells the uplifting story of what endures when even the unthinkable happens. From the Hardcover edition.

Those B School recipes for success need an update.
Why?
First of all – we’re moving too fast to follow any set recipe. What was true last month may be old news today. Even as our value slides from ‘Oh Wow’ to ‘Ho Hum’ in a matter of months, our markets spin in new directions. Buyers change, fads change, the economy changes. Market ingredients will change, so wed better be ready to improvise quickly. Following that recipe just may end up cooking our goose!
Secondly – no two companies can follow the same recipe and be successful. The patterned recipe for cooking up business success doesn’t work in today’s dynamic markets. Every business situation is unique. That means every business has to create its success based on their specific situational ingredients at a given point in time, evolving their recipe in real-time as their markets change.
The Bottom Line? We have to think for ourselves.
We say we’ve always thought for ourselves- but have we really? We’ve sliced the pie, jumped across the big chasm, dived into the bright blue ocean or followed that popular strategic recipe for years. That’s not a bad thing – it’s just not the best way to be different – and successful.
Situational thinking is today’s recipe for success.
To thrive in today’s markets, I think we all have to throw out our old and tired recipe books and start thinking differently. We get the chance to improvise, to create value and distinction in a world of limitless possibilities.We get to spin on a dime, evolve in real-time and cook up compelling new value combinations and go-to-market strategies to power our success.
I think that’s exciting. Tomorrow, I’ll share a bit about how I’m changing my own recipe… In the meantime, what do you think about all these tried and true recipes for success? Are you already thinking differently?

Despite the global spread of Western medical practice, traditional doctors still thrive in the modern world. In Recipes for Immorality, Richard Weiss illuminates their continued success by examining the ways in which siddha medical practitioners in Tamil South India win the trust and patronage of patients. While biomedicine might alleviate a patient's physical distress, siddha doctors offer their clientele much more: affiliation to a timeless and pure community, the fantasy of a Tamil utopia, and even the prospect of immortality. They speak of a golden age of Tamil civilization and of traditional medicine, drawing on broader revivalist formulations of a pure and ancient Tamil community. Weiss analyzes the success of siddha doctors, focusing on how they have successfully garnered authority and credibility. While shedding light on their lives, vocations, and aspirations, Weiss also documents the challenges that siddha doctors face in the modern world, both from a biomedical system that claims universal efficacy, and also from the rival traditional medicine, ayurveda, which is promoted as the national medicine of an autonomous Indian state. Drawing on ethnographic data; premodern Tamil texts on medicine, alchemy, and yoga; government archival resources; college textbooks; and popular literature on siddha medicine and on the siddhar yogis, he presents an in-depth study of this traditional system of knowledge, which serves the medical needs of millions of Indians. Weiss concludes with a look at traditional medicine at large, and demonstrates that siddha doctors, despite resent trends toward globalization and biomedicine, reflect the wider political and religious dimensions of medical discourse in our modern world. Recipes for Immortality proves that medical authority is based not only on physical effectiveness, but also on imaginative processes that relate to personal and social identities, conceptions of history, secrecy, loss, and utopian promise.

In One Economics, Many Recipes , leading economist Dani Rodrik argues that neither globalizers nor antiglobalizers have got it right. While economic globalization can be a boon for countries that are trying to dig out of poverty, success usually requires following policies that are tailored to local economic and political realities rather than obeying the dictates of the international globalization establishment. A definitive statement of Rodrik’s original and influential perspective on economic growth and globalization, One Economics, Many Recipes shows how successful countries craft their own unique strategies–and what other countries can learn from them. To most proglobalizers, globalization is a source of economic salvation for developing nations, and to fully benefit from it nations must follow a universal set of rules designed by organizations such as the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the World Trade Organization and enforced by international investors and capital markets. But to most antiglobalizers, such global rules spell nothing but trouble, and the more poor nations shield themselves from them, the better off they are. Rodrik rejects the simplifications of both sides, showing that poor countries get rich not by copying what Washington technocrats preach or what others have done, but by overcoming their own highly specific constraints. And, far from conflicting with economic science, this is exactly what good economics teaches.
