I am thrilled to announce that I will be making mo I am thrilled to announce that I will be making more cookbooks with @chroniclebooks ! The next book will be a collection of Morning Baking recipes - 100 recipes, to be exact: featuring muffins, scones, coffee cakes, quick breads, Bundt cakes, yeasted breads and pastries, and even a few savory breakfast treats. I am excited about this book because this is a favorite baking genre of mine - I spent a crazy amount of hours at all the bakeries and coffeehouses I worked in making these types of baked goods, and I will be spending the next few months fine tuning all my recipes. The book will be published Spring 2023. Thank you so much to the entire team at Chronicle and my agent @janedystel - I am happy to be making more books with you! And thank you to all you lovely people who have been supporting my work on this platform, following along on my site, making and sharing my recipes, and buying my books! Every day I am truly encouraged and inspired by all of you. Thank you, thank you. ❤️❤️❤️
Cherries + Cream Slab Pie! This slab pie is adapte Cherries + Cream Slab Pie! This slab pie is adapted from my first cookbook, The Vanilla Bean Baking Book. I usually prefer slab pies - I like the crust-to-fruit-filling ratio, and they feed a lot of people. I make this pie almost every 4th of July - my father-in-law’s birthday is on the 4th, and he prefers pie over any other dessert. This recipe uses sweet cherries, but my sour cherry tree is bursting with beautiful ruby reds right now, so I may use a mixture of both when I bake it this time around. Recipe link in my profile! 🍒🍒
Summer Berry Cake! This is a fabulous summer cake Summer Berry Cake! This is a fabulous summer cake that I have had on repeat all month, switching between strawberries and raspberries. I usually make it with buttermilk and sour cream, but swapped those ingredients for @Icelandicprovisions Vanilla Bean Oatmilk Skyr, in equal parts. I was so happy with the results - the Skyr baked up beautifully in the cake, and there was no difference in flavor, except for a delicious bump of vanilla flavor. ⁣ ⁣ Check out my stories to see me make this cake, and find the RECIPE link in my bio! #sponsored
