Each event offers guests a unique immersive experience to connect with influential voices in the food world while enjoying recipes thoughtfully prepared by Lucy’s expert team and inspired by the authors’ own recipes.
For our first Page to Plate, AOCB is thrilled to welcome Anne Byrn who known to millions of fans through her Cake Mix Doctor, Dinner Doctor, and American Cake cookbooks. Her newest book, Baking in the American South: 200 Recipes & Their Untold Stories (A Definitive Guide to Southern Baking) is much more than your average cookbook!
About Baking in the American South:
Recipes hold stories—of crops grown, languages spoken, family customs, and faith. Did you know a mill’s location shaped local recipes, or that pound cakes played a role in the Civil Rights Movement? These traditions, born of hardship and celebration, are captured and refined here with Anne’s expertise, making this a must-have guide for bakers of all levels.
Spanning 14 Southern states—from Texas to Florida to Kentucky—this book blends history with beautifully photographed recipes, tracing influences from pre-Civil War kitchens to today. It highlights African-American women’s pivotal contributions, home cooks preserving traditions, and pastry chefs reimagining Southern classics.
A rich portrait of Southern baking and its impact on American food culture, this cookbook is essential for food historians, bakers, and collectors alike.
