Baking Across America: A Vintage Recipe Road Trip

B. Dylan Hollis takes readers on a cross-country culinary journey featuring 100 uniquely American recipes. The book travels from the Southwest deserts to the Atlantic Coast, exploring regional baking traditions across all fifty states. The collection spans recipes from the 1900s to the 2000s, including both well-known and lesser-known desserts. Featured recipes include Boston Cream Pie from Boston, Beignets from New Orleans, coffee-based creations from the Pacific Northwest, sheet cakes from Texas, and Date Cream from Palm Springs. Hollis presents the recipes alongside explorations of their cultural and historical contexts, written in his characteristic style. This book serves as a successor to his earlier work, Baking Yesteryear.
