Bakers Dorie Greenspan and Umber Ahmad From The Cooks & Books Conference Nov 08, 2021

Show notes

Dorie Greenspan thought she was finished writing cookbooks. She had published her 13th book—“a baker’s dozen,” she joked—but a suggestion that she do a savory baking book was enough to get her excited and inspired. The result, Baking With Dorie, was recently released and it’s not the savory-only work she thought she would produce. “I just couldn’t stay away from desserts,” she says. Interviewing Dorie is baker Umber Ahmad, the owner of Mah-Ze-Dahr Bakery, which has locations in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Arlington, Virginia.

Their chat took place during the Cherry Bombe Cooks & Books conference, held at Ace Hotel Brooklyn. This episode is supported by Kerrygold. Visit kerrygoldusa.com to learn more about their butter and cheeses made with milk from Irish grass-fed cows.
