Join B. Dylan Hollis, bestselling author of Baking Yesteryear, on a cross-country culinary journey with 100 uniquely American recipes

From the deserts of the Southwest to the Green Mountains of Vermont, 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 Dylan leads you on a journey through the culture capitals of America to bring you the very best bakes the country has to offer. His retro recipes span the decades from the 1850s to the 1990s and feature famous (and infamous!) desserts from every state.

With his signature wry humor, Dylan explores the US and uncovers the history of nostalgic local favorites, including Whoopie Pies on the rocky Maine coast, Beignets in jazzy New Orleans, and Date Shakes blended up in a mid-century mansion in Palm Springs.

Baking Across America is the highly anticpated second book from the author of Baking Yesteryear and delivers 100 wild, wacky, and wonderful recipes from every vibrant corner of the good ol’ US of A.

About the author

B. Dylan Hollis

B. Dylan Hollis is a social media personality who has tasked himself with baking and tasting unusual recipes from bygone years. Born and raised on the island of Bermuda, he later attended college at the University of Wyoming to further a career as a jazz pianist and arranger. He stumbled into both baking and social media fame at once in 2020, when quarantine boredom led him to film an investigation of an old cookbook he had collected from an estate sale. Hundreds of recipes later, Dylan now entertains millions across TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram with his unique style and fast jokes.

Buttermilk Pie

Here in Texas, the land of cattle and roughly 130 million acres of ranchland, buttermilk flows thick and heavy-not from their livestock (Texans are in the beef business), but rather into their mixing bowls.

Kool-Aid Pie

To a giant plastic pitcher, its rim etched and toughened by years of use, I watched my two older brothers, Tyler and Jason, add an obscene amount of grape Kool-Aid, deepening the liquid within to a dark purple.

Beignets

It's hard to fathom it, but the loud and proud thrumming of the Louisiana we walk today is but a fraction of what came before.
