I just bought Dorie’s book and love it! The only problem is deciding which recipe to make next?

Indeed. I think it would be a year-long commitment that would destroy my glucose levels. On the other hand, though, it would be an AMAZING topic for a blog.

Considering even more now.

Hi Dorie, great to hear from you. Yes, having a relationship with readers is the most satisfying part of having a blog, so I can only imagine how much you enjoy it through Tuesdays With Dorie.

Nate, well said. It takes a while for print writers to understand the value of social media, especially those of us (ahem) over 40.

Such nice words of support — thank you. Reading these comments, how could anyone not want to join the online community?

I like that more book writers are adding an online presence. Learning doesn’t stop when a book is published. New information is generated all the time and it needs to be shared right away instead of waiting for a 2nd edition or a new book. Also, authors can get ideas for what to write about by interfacing with their most loyal fans – those that comment on the blogs.

It’s a normal question. Restaurant reviewers who are thin get that all the time. I remember Flo Braker saying it was the number one question people asked her.

Nani, I assumed she ran the TWD as a marketing thing until I looked into it.

Too bad they didn’t ask better questions, or at least edit them–I mean the “how come you are so skinny” question so many times is a little ridiculous, no? She does seem to be the genuine thing, which is always nice to see/hear in people you admire.
