“The Kitchen Whisperers,” her new kitchen memoir is populated with many of the culinary names she worked with over the decades, like Colman Andrews, Marcella Hazan, Michael Anthony and Anita Lo, all of whom enhanced her own expertise.

The New York Times

“Kalins’ wisdom-sharing meets her aims: A quarter of the way into the book I’m suddenly staring into my kitchen, thinking about which dishes I can make from muscle memory (a lot of Americana desserts and Lebanese one-pot meals) and from whom I want to learn next.

Los Angeles Times

“Beautifully written, thoughtful content that mirrors our current mindfulness movement.”

—Booklist, STARRED Review

“While each memory is a pleasure to savor, what resonates most is the how these stories will inspire readers to take

stock and appreciate their own whisperers. Food lovers will want to devour this one slowly.”

         —Publishers Weekly

The Kitchen Whisperer cover

“Dorothy is one of my Kitchen Whisperers, and I am moved by how much we still keep learning from each other.”

—Danny Meyer
