But after years spent in the kitchen, he had become a full-fledged “baking nerd next door”—the perfect guide to explain how to adjust a recipe for rye flour or perfect your pavlova without bogging you down with too many details.In this debut cookbook, Martin shares those tips and many more, in a collection of recipes that highlight the ease and enjoyment of wholesome ingredients and simple flavors, while encouraging readers to try new twists on familiar favorites. These breads, cookies, crisps, cakes, pies, pastries, and—yes—biscuits sneak surprising ingredients into the classics: Super-Soft Malted Cinnamon Rolls that elevate the childhood staple, Glazed Lemon Verbena Shortbread that gets a bit of zing from the window-box herb, Sweet Corn Milk Bread that highlights the perfection of an ear of summer sweet corn. From the Midwestern flavors of Chicago Dog Focaccia and Michigan Forest Cake to traditional Christmas Stollen and Swabian Soft Pretzels rooted in Martin’s German heritage, Great Bakes welcomes bakers of every level with recipes they’ll reach for again and again.ABOUT THE AUTHOR:Martin Sorge is a home baker, cook, writer, and recipe developer. His work has appeared in Food & Wine, the Chicago Tribune, Chicago magazine, WBEZ Chicago, Trink magazine, and more. He shares recipes, tips, and stories in his newsletter, also titled Great Bakes.Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith named Martin the winner of The Great American Baking Show in 2023. A native Hoosier, he lives in Chicago and Michigan’s pinky finger with his husband and two cats.
