Baking Across America: A Vintage Recipe Road Trip
About this product
Join B. Dylan Hollis, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Baking Yesteryear, on a cross-country culinary journey with 100 uniquely American recipes.
From the deserts of the Southwest to the shining Atlantic Coast, the USA is as sweet as it gets. In this tour de food, B. Dylan Hollis takes you on a delicious road trip to taste everything from the coffee-crazed creations of the Pacific Northwest to the larger-than-life sheet cakes of Texas.
You’ll be hitting the pavement in vintage style as you journey with Dylan through the culture capitals of America to savor the very best bakes the nation has to offer. His retro recipes span the decades from the 1900s to the 2000s and feature famous (and forgotten) desserts from every state.
With his signature wry humor, Dylan explores the US and uncovers the history of nostalgic local favorites, including Boston Cream Pie on the cobbled streets of Beantown, Beignets in the sultry heat of jazzy New Orleans, and Date Cream scooped up poolside in Palm Springs.
Baking Across America is the highly anticipated successor to Baking Yesteryear and delivers 100 wild, wacky, and wonderful recipes from every star-spangled corner of the good ol’ US of A. Read more
Editor's Take
Amazon reviewer snippets and Goodreads readers describe this cookbook as entertaining, well photographed, and full of interesting historical context, with several people saying the recipe quality is mixed but the book is a fun companion to B. Dylan Hollis’s first cookbook. Goodreads reviewers also note that some of the author’s snarkier state-by-state commentary may not suit everyone, while others praise it as part history lesson and part cookbook. Readers on a cookbook review blog describe it as a creative, entertaining regional baking tour that blends recipes, history, and humor. YouTube search results showed multiple real videos about the book, including talks, interviews, and a related recipe video, indicating active interest in the title.
