I would watch Dorie any day and any time. I adore her.

[emmyali]

I ADORE DORIE!!
I’d watch her read the dictionary. Shes so calm and soft spoken. The absolute opposite of me when I bake!

[jennifersaunders]

Dorie is a style ICON. I'm obsessed with this apron, glasses, scarf combo.

[europeanguy]

I'm obsessed with those bowls that have the blue lines running across.

Stepped way out of my comfort zone and made this. It is as good as it looks! The texture is like ice cream.

A few things I would do differently/ noticed:

Make the meringues 1 day ahead of time to give them a chance to properly dry out.
Don't start whipping anything until you get the first layer of meringues in the bottom of the pan
Put a complete layer of meringues in the pan, don't be skimpy! The recipe calls for 4 cups of crushed cookies, don't be afraid to use more.
I used almond flavoring instead of vanilla, which I like better.
This starts to melt immediately! Be ready to serve when you take it out of the freezer.

Dorie, you're officially an internet superstar. We all love you!

I was only 30 seconds in when I realised I love Dorie with all my heart. I'm not much of a baker but I'm still going to watch all of her other videos.

[luannboegle]

She’s so pretty & so perfect…. Not to mention all that talent !

For the peeps worried about the raw eggs, salmonella from eggs at home is pretty rare, however if you're very worried you can always use pasteurized eggs.

[alexishawthorne]

She's so soothing to me. I love that Food52 has chefs for all of my moods.

I bought Dorie's latest book and I'm so glad I did. I'd been a fan for years, but now knowing how fabulous she is in person, I'm even more of one.
