"Comprehensive [and] extraordinarily useful." —Booklist, starred reviewThe 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 cakethat uses no wheat flour. Loaf cakes that balance the sugar with slightly-bitter rye.
Super-creamy Basque cheesecakethat requires no water bath.
Mexican sweet corn cakemade in a blender. Or
Catalan biscotti,
sticky chocolate cake from Sweden, and
crispy spinach and cheese borekfrom Türkiye.
We also include forgotten American recipes such as
maple-glazed hermitsand 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

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!
