Publisher Description
The #1 New York Times Bestseller
A decade-by-decade cookbook that highlights the best (and a few of the worst) baking recipes from the 20th century
Friends of baking, are you sick and tired of making the same recipes again and again? Then look no further than this baking blast from the past, as B. Dylan Hollis highlights the most unique tasty treats of yesteryear.
Travel back in time on a delicious decade-by-decade jaunt as Dylan shows you how to bake vintage forgotten greats. With a big pinch of fun and a full cup of humor, you’ll be baking everything from Chocolate Potato Cake from the 1910s to Avocado Pie from the 1960s.
Dylan has baked hundreds of recipes from countless antique cookbooks and selected only the best for this bakebook, sharing the shining stars from each decade. And because some of the recipes Dylan shares on his wildly popular social media channels are spectacular failures, he’s thrown in a few of the most disastrously strange recipes for you to try if you dare.
A few of Dylan’s favorites that are going to have you licking your lips and begging for more include:
● 1900s Cornflake Macaroons
● 1910s ANZAC Biscuits
● 1930s Peanut Butter Bread
● 1940s Chocolate Sauerkraut Cake
● 1950s Tomato Soup Cake
● 1970s Potato Chip Cookies
Baking Yesteryear contains 101 expertly curated recipes that will take you on a delicious journey through the past. With a larger-than-life personality and comedic puns galore, baking with Dylan never gets old. We’ll leave that to the recipes.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Fire up your oven for a baking journey through the years with social media star B. Dylan Hollis’ favorite wild and wacky old-school treats. The social media personality, musician, and amateur baker went viral during the pandemic thanks to his dedication to finding and making kooky recipes from long-out-of-print cookbooks, which he’s compiled here. Hollis isn’t just interested in misbegotten experiments like pickle cheesecake. There’s also plenty of things you’ll actually want to eat, like the almost-forgotten ’60s staple grasshopper pie—think Thin Mints, but creamy—and the World War I staple Anzac biscuits, a crunchy spice cookie that’s delicious with milky tea. Geared to beginning bakers, Hollis’ recipes offer clear, easy-to-follow directions, helpful tips, and ingredient explanations. His humor and knowledge come through in the hilarious historical intros explaining how he found each recipe. Roll out some wild treats and enjoy Americana, one dessert at a time.
