A year of baking, told through memoir and recipes

Combining a coming-of-age memoir with more than fifty baking recipes, Tanya Bush’s book connects the pleasures of dessert with questions of desire. Its year-long frame gives the collection a personal thread, placing recipes alongside stories rather than presenting baking methods on their own. The result is a hybrid of cookbook and life writing, with baking serving as both subject and setting for reflection.

  • Home cooks interested in baking recipes alongside personal stories
  • Readers who enjoy memoirs centered on food and domestic life
