Sneak Peek at Our New Test Kitchen!!/ By Shelley Lance, cookbook co-author
So excited about this sweet new space right behind the Dahlia pastry kitchen that Sean Hartley (operations manager) and Garrett Melkonian have cleaned up, fixed up, and equipped for recipe testing! Garrett was formerly our executive pastry chef (a post which is now filled by Stacy Fortner) and we’re thrilled to have him back with the Tom Douglas team for awhile to work with Tom and myself on recipe development for the Dahlia Bakery Cookbook that’s now in progress. Let’s get baking!!!!

That’s great! Can’t wait for the cookbook to hit the shelves. I hope the peanut butter cookie with frosting in the middle will be included!

Yep, the peanut butter sandwich cookies will be in the book. Nora Ephron’s favorite cookie…. how could we pass it up?

Yum, can’t wait to make a batch of that each weekend and share with
my neighbors!!!! It’s one of my favorite cookies too, Nora!!!

I’m so glad to see Garrett back to help with this project. Please include eclairs and
the great multigrain roll recipe. Can’t wait for the cookbook (and camp)!

I don’t want to spoil the surprises in the new book to say exactly what’s in it this far ahead. But I will say,that even though we have the thing pretty much plotted out, we really welcome your input. So if people let us know what recipes they would like to see in the Dahlia Bakery Cookbook, we will put those suggestions into serious consideration.

I want that chocolate banana cream pie Garrett was crafting up a couple
years ago, I still have dreams about that luscious dessert!

I LOVE the pizza crust at Serious Pie!!! It will be awesome if the book can include some kind of flat bread that has comparable texture that can be made at home. PLEASE CONSIDER IT!!!! Thanks!! When will the book be out?

Oh yeah….and the FRIED DOUGHNUTS RECIPE!!!!

We’re just getting seriously started on the book, though we’ve been talking about it for awhile. So we’re probably looking at approximately a year before it’s published.

I’m liking Dan’s ideas, and I haven’t heard about this chocolate banana cream pie! Robyn?

Please include the chocolate truffle cookies in the book. I just returned to the east coast from a visit to Seattle and those cookies were the best cookie I have ever eaten. I don’t know when I will get back to Seattle and I would love to be able to make them at home!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I LOVE the peanut butter cookies. The monkey bread is also a wish request for the book.

Would first love to see the chocolate pecan cookies. I was fortunate enough to buy thos emy last day there and had them when I got home and they were amazing; so a big please for that one. The doughnuts would be awesome but onkly if you include the recipe for that jam youserve with the. And last but not least the Chocolate Truffle, LOVE IT! Do you have a realase date for this book. Didn’t mean to raise this from the dead but my recent visit there has me on a search. to get some here at home.
