Savory Baking: Recipes for Breakfast, Dinner, and Everything in Between

Food & Wine's 28 Cookbooks and Food Books to Add to Your Shelf This Fall

Bon Appétit's 27 Best Cookbooks of 2022

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Book on Pie and The Fearless Baker, a savory baking book for delicious baked goods at any time of day.

Savory Baking is the next best thing to a private baking and pastry class from star food stylist and baking expert Erin Jeanne McDowell, given in her signature fun and reassuring style. Not only are each of her recipes intensely crave-able, they also offer inventive inspirations and variations for endless, out-of-the-box customizations and more flexibility.

Take her Buttermilk Biscuits, for instance, which comes together in a single bowl. You can cut them in different shapes--Erin prefers squares so there's no scrap dough left. And she suggests adding cheese (or fresh herbs or bacon) for bolder flavor. Or substituting the buttermilk with sour cream or crème fraiche for a je ne sais quoi tang. Or adding her green chile gravy when serving. Or make a monkey bread made of biscuit dough! Or...

Chapters span all day (and night) for freshly baked goods whenever the mood strikes:
