This fun and flavorful baking cookbook takes readers on a delicious journey through the decades, highlighting the best—and occasionally bizarre—baking recipes of the 20th century.

In this unique vintage cookbook, B. Dylan Hollis brings his signature humor and charm to forgotten gems like Chocolate Potato Cake from the 1910s and Avocado Pie from the 1960s. Whether you're a curious home baker or a collector of quirky culinary history, this book offers a fresh twist on nostalgic favorites.

Featuring highlights from countless antique cookbooks, Dylan shares the tastiest hits from each era, while also including a few of the most hilariously disastrous dishes for the brave to try.

With its engaging tone, clever commentary, and retro flair, this dessert cookbook stands out as more than just a baking guide—it's a celebration of kitchen creativity across the ages. Perfect for anyone craving something different from their usual baking routine.

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.

When searching for the dessert cookbook, Baking Yesteryear is a great choice. The spiral bound version of this book is great for those who use their books regularly. Our proprietary binding helps you lay this title flat for easier reading and handling.

Great book, col concept with laying it flat. However printing is not as shown. Even the cover art is cut off. Several flaws on pages and the large heavy book was shipped in an in padded plastic envelope which my mai person crammed in the mailbox further damaging the book. There were also several printing. Errors that looked like heat burns. Their customer service is supposed to be sending me a new one. If it arrives in better condition I will change my review.
