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.

Title: Well Thought out and Designed!
Review: I've been a fan of Dylan's on TikTok for a long time. He's absolutely entertaining. I love to make wacky recipes (baked tomato soup cake for ages), and I decided to get his cookbook.I was thoroughly impressed with the design, layout and photography! He has obviously taken a lot of time and thought into planning and writing this cookbook.The recipes are organized by decade (and he includes the ones that made him almost throw up on camera in a separate section). I also appreciate the fact that he also includes measurements in grams. Ever since I've been baking by WEIGHT rather than volume, my baking has been absolutely consistent every time.He has beautiful full-page, color photos of some of the recipes and the instructions are perfect and well-organized. If you like to bake "weird but good" recipes, this is the cookbook to buy. I highly recommend it! A+++++++

Title: Best baking book on the market!
Review: There's not a whole lot to say here. B. Dylan Hollis has a winner! He includes in his book many of his variations of classic recipes that he found made and has approved of personally. And for fun he also includes an entire chapter of the worst of the worst ancient recipes. His introductions are hilarious. The recipes are concise. The instructions are perfect. You can't go wrong baking these recipes. And while you're at it you get a taste of history.

Title: Beautiful photos, wonderful recipes and witty commentary
Review: With recipes now available all over these interwebs, why would one want to get a cookbook? Well, this author has scoured and tested the recipes that some of us grew up with to find the ones that tickled his taste buds. If that were all, that would be enough. However, the pictures and commentary made this book a purchase that I am happy to say has pleased me more than finding a recipe online.Some of the recipes were ones that I have been making for years and are in my well-worn index card box that my mom gave me when I moved-out after college 40+ years ago. I rifle through that box now and then because they are organized never. With this book, I can flag my favorites and have it right at hand. I like the permanence of books.

Title: Fun book. Love the nostalgia vibe
Review: B. Dylan is nuts!!! And I’m nuts for this cookbook! Many simple recipes that are fun to make and quite tasty. I find myself laughing out loud to his videos. So I had to have his book to get the recipes in print.

Title: Great gift for those who are bakers.
Review: Has some great recipes, beautiful pictures of the food, funny writing which are reflections of Dylan’s videos, and as a twist, the book as a collection of the worst recipes. Which is rare for cookbooks to do, and I’m glad that Dylan decided to do this. It shows that not every recipe is a good idea.

Title: Durable and made for cooking
Review: The spiral bound helps keep it open and the paper is high quality and able to withstand being an open cook book where the occasional cloud if flour or spot can occur. Great photos of the recipes and good tips. A lot of the recipes are novel and fun to make as well as photo and talk about. It you're looking to surprise guests with a quirky, tasty dessert, this is the cookbook for you!

Reviewer: I work nights and I got this to help sleep. I'm absolutely happy with it. Eazy to put up and works great. Love it.

Review: I have just loved this book. I like to bake. The pictures are super, the recipes a blast from the past and the authors comments a gem. Watch his YouTubes too. The potato chocolate cake is a household favorite. A great gift for people that love food and history of recipes. Also the recipes are not fussy and are straight forward to make for people that are not "gourmet" level.

Review: En tictok stjärna som samlar recept i en bok kan det vara något? Boken precis som författaren är charmig och lättsam om man gillar historiska mat och bakverk. Lätt läst men kräver att man kan sina amerikanska mått.
