Book Overview

#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.

Not enough pictures of the food

Was very disappointed. I made two things from the book and they were awful. Waste of my time and ingredients.

These are the best recipes he personally tested

Dylan has tested esoteric recipes for years on his hilarious hit vlog. If he says these are the best it's because they are. This is not a menu planning book. It's a walk through your mom and grandma and great grandma's cook books past the cucumber and celery Jello straight to the crazy stuff that was genuinely delicious. If you are a fan of his videos you will love this book.

Mostly 'novelty' recipes rather than exemplars of their respective eras

Not sure how the author arrives at the descriptor 'best recipes,' but very few of these can be characterized as 'popular,' nevermind even 'good.' Never saw a cookbook where the author inserted himself unnecessarily into so many photos. If you like the author's writing style, it might be marginally entertaining; I didn't care for it.
