En savoir plus sur le livre
When Nancy Baggett sought the best homemade desserts across America, she turned to small-town cooks, innkeepers, and church bakers known for their specialties. Many of her discoveries are unique, never before published or recorded. Among these treasures are an easy blueberry buckle from a Vermont B&B, a tender peach cobbler from an Ozarks home cook, a thick chocolate-banana malted from a St. Louis soda fountain, and a moist chiffon cake with orange glaze from Nancy's grandmother's collection. Other delights include soft, glazed gingerbread cookies from a former D.C. diner and creamy chocolate-dipped caramels from a New Mexico Episcopal church guild. With over three decades of baking and writing experience, Nancy found inspiration in each recipe, ensuring that even novice bakers can achieve perfect results, like flaky pie crusts and fudgy brownies. The book also features fun projects for families, such as rock crystal swizzle sticks, caramel apples, and brownie bars in a jar. It explores America's love for sweets, sharing regional legends, recipe backstories, baking history, and kitchen wisdom from past cooks, making it a delightful journey through the world of desserts.
