Milk Street Bakes

By Christopher Kimball

Turn your kitchen into the world's best bakery with this "comprehensive and] extraordinarily useful" collection of 200 sweet and savory baking recipes from the James Beard Award-winning team at Milk Street (Booklist, starred review)

The American baking repertoire may be unparalleled in our claim to pies, biscuits, and cakes. But step off a plane in London, Mexico City, Istanbul, or Paris, and you realize how much more there we can learn about the art of simple, delicious baked goods.

We found a simple Spanish almond cake that uses no wheat flour. Loaf cakes that balance the sugar with slightly-bitter rye. Super-creamy Basque cheesecake that requires no water bath. Mexican sweet corn cake made in a blender. Or Catalan biscotti, sticky chocolate cake from Sweden, and crispy spinach and cheese borek from Türkiye.

We also include forgotten American recipes such as maple-glazed hermits and new classics such as peanut butter banana cream pie. And we go beyond sweets to include yeasted breads, savory tarts, pizzas, and flatbreads (some made in a skillet in minutes).

Most of these recipes are easier than you'd think, from beer pretzels to Danish dream cake. But in baking, the little things count--so Milk Street is here to help you avoid pitfalls with recipes that you can count on.

Our promise to you is that you will become the best baker you know
