As you saw in the video here, my new book – The Old Farmer’s Almanac Everyday Baking – is finally out and making the rounds. And now you can purchase copies directly from me here at The Pie Academy.
I think the book is well named: the 118 recipes in the book are the accessible, “everyday baking” sort you’ll find yourself returning to week after week. Recipes like Double-Apple Walnut Bread, Bacon-Blue Cheese Scones, Pumpkin Sugar Cake, and Chocolate Mud Bars. They aren’t the sort you’ll try to tackle only if you have a degree from culinary school.
Have a look above: that’s the Glazed Lemon Coconut Loaf from page 24; Individual Pear Cranberry Crisps right below it; and the Virginia Peanut Pie that’ll give traditional pecan pie a serious run for its money.
Even though I’ve been baking for a lot of years, I still remember what it’s like to be a beginning baker, or an experienced one trying out a new recipe. You wonder about all sorts of things: What will the pie look like when it’s done? When will I know I’ve mixed the dough enough? What sort of cookie sheet should I use?
So I’ve tried to anticipate your questions and work the answers into the recipes. I think you’ll find that helpful.
The Old Farmer’s Almanac folks have been wonderful to work with and they have done a beautiful job with this 136 page paperback. There’s full color photography on nearly every page, including dozens of shots of the finished items. How they managed to create such a gorgeous book and price this under ten bucks, I’ll never know.

So here’s the deal about ordering autographed copies from me, and I’ll try to keep this as simple as possible. You might want to stock up because the holiday season is right around the corner.
