About the Book

Baking Yesteryear by B. Dylan Hollis is the #1 New York Times bestselling debut cookbook from the TikTok and YouTube star known for his exuberant, larger-than-life baking videos featuring recipes pulled straight from vintage community cookbooks. Friends of baking who are sick and tired of making the same recipes again and again will find no shortage of surprises here, as Hollis highlights the most unique, forgotten treats of the 20th century, taking readers on a delicious, decade-by-decade jaunt through baking history.

With a big pinch of fun and a full cup of humor, the book walks readers through vintage forgotten greats — from Chocolate Potato Cake in the 1910s to Avocado Pie in the 1960s — organized decade by decade from the 1900s all the way through the 1980s, with a short summation of each era's culinary trends opening every section. Hollis has baked hundreds of recipes pulled from countless antique cookbooks and church-community collections from the U.S., U.K., and his native Bermuda, selecting only the shining stars for this collection — 101 expertly curated recipes in total, including favorites like 1900s Cornflake Macaroons, 1910s ANZAC Biscuits, 1930s Peanut Butter Bread, 1940s Chocolate Sauerkraut Cake, 1950s Tomato Soup Cake, and 1970s Potato Chip Cookies. True to his social media persona, Hollis also includes bonus sections on dates (the fruit), no-bake treats, and a "Worst of the Worst" chapter featuring some of history's most disastrously strange recipes — think Jellied Meatloaf and Candle Salad — for the brave reader willing to try them.

Bright, funny, and beautifully photographed, Baking Yesteryear captures the same wild, wacky, and wonderful charm that made Hollis's videos a viral phenomenon, becoming the most preordered cookbook in his publisher's history and resonating with readers who love food history, nostalgia, and genuine laugh-out-loud commentary alongside their recipes.
