Dori and Doug Walker, avid bakers
for decades, founded Walker Bakeshop
in 2022.

Dori learned her family’s specialties from her grandmother, Mollye Perlin Kahn, and her mother, Ruth Gordon. She has published three cookbooks: You Can’t Have Dry Coffee, Essential Passover From Scratch, and Essential High Holidays From Scratch. Dori’s challah won a blue ribbon at the New Mexico State Fair.

Doug grew up enjoying his mother, Dorothy’s classic biscuits, cornbread, and cobblers. As a backcountry guide he learned to bake brownies and biscuits in a dutch oven buried in the coals of a campfire. More recently, Doug has studied artisan baking at the King Arthur baking school, and loves baking batches of bagels and sourdough ryes.
