Anne Byrn, known as the Cake Mix Doctor to a generation of home bakers, has done it again. Her latest cookbook, Baking in the American South, is a treasure trove of the recipes and stories that constitute Southern baking’s history. This book, stuffed with 200 delectable recipes, is Anne’s “love letter to Southern baking, a legacy built by grandmothers, modern chefs, and Black women and men who pioneered these flavors.” A meticulously researched cookbook that is as much fun to read as it is to cook from! Grab an apron, a wooden spoon, and your electric mixer—”this rich and lemony quick bread or cake slices and keeps well for several days!”
