A vintage tour of American baking

Organized as a cross-country culinary journey, this collection brings together 100 American recipes spanning the 1900s through the 2000s. Its regional stops connect desserts and bakes with local food history, from Boston Cream Pie and New Orleans beignets to Texas sheet cakes and Pacific Northwest coffee-inspired creations. The result is both a baking collection and a survey of nostalgic regional favorites, including recipes the book describes as famous as well as lesser-known. The vintage framing gives the assortment a shared historical thread while the state-by-state reach highlights the variety of American baking traditions.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Home bakers interested in vintage recipes from across the United States
  • Readers curious about the regional history of American desserts
  • Fans of B. Dylan Hollis’s earlier cookbook, Baking Yesteryear

Book overview

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.
