From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Baking Yesteryear comes Baking Across America: A Vintage Recipe Roadtrip, 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. Social media personality 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.

Baking Across America journeys through the culture capitals of America to savor the very best bakes the nation has to offer. Hollis’s retro recipes span the decades from the 1900s to the 2000s and feature famous (and forgotten) desserts from every state, uncovering 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. 

Hollis will be in conversation with Emily Heil, a reporter covering national food news and trends for The Washington Post.

All books will be pre-signed by the author. A book signing will follow the event for those who would like their book personalized. Those who purchased a book will also have the opportunity to take a picture with the author.
