A decade-by-decade bakebook highlighting the best (and a few of the worst) baking recipes from the 20th century

Friends of baking, are you sick and tired of making the same recipes again and again? Then look no further than this baking blast from the past as B. Dylan Hollis highlights the most unique tasty treats of yesteryear!

Travel back in time on a delicious decade-by-decade jaunt as Dylan shows you how to bake vintage forgotten greats. With a big pinch of fun and a full cup of humour, you'll be baking everything from chocolate potato cake from the 1910s to avocado pie from the 1960s.

Dylan has baked hundreds of recipes from countless antique cookbooks and selected only the best for this bakebook, sharing the shining stars from each decade. And because some of the recipes that Dylan shares on his wildly popular social media channels are spectacular failures, he's also thrown in a few of the most disastrously strange recipes for you to try if you dare.

A few of Dylan's favourites that will have you licking your lips and begging for more include:

- 1909 cornflake macaroons

- 1918 ANZAC biscuits

- Great Depression peanut butter bread

- 1940s chocolate sauerkraut cake

- 1956 mayonnaise cake

- 1970s potato chip cookies

Baking Yesteryear contains 101 expertly curated recipes that takes 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!

B. Dylan Hollis is a social media personality who has tasked himself with baking and tasting unusual recipes from bygone years. Born and raised on the island of Bermuda, he later attended college at the University of Wyoming to further a career as a jazz pianist and arranger. He stumbled into both baking and social media fame at once in 2020, when quarantine boredom led him to film an investigation of an old cookbook he had collected from an estate sale. Hundreds of recipes later, Dylan now entertains millions across TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram with his unique style and fast jokes.
