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

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