“No matter how much you know about America’s favorite little
sweets, you’ll learn so much more from Anne Byrn’s new book. Every
recipe comes with a story as delicious as the small bite it
describes. And best of all, every small bite begs to be baked.”
—Dorie Greenspan, James Beard Award-winning author of Dorie’s
Cookies
“In American Bites, Anne Byrn unearths rare and prized recipes for
addictive hand-held sweet treats that tell a fascinating story
about our nation. In this journey-in-receipts, we trip from the
Jewish bakery in Savannah known for its chocolate meringue crisps
to the streets of New Orleans, where turn-of-the-century street
vendors sell the yeast-risen Creole rice-fritters called calas. As
in her American Cake, cooking this book isn’t just an adventure
back in time; these recipes have all the sweet exactitude we’ve
come to expect from “The Cake Doctor,” resulting in perfectly
delicious cookies, tea cakes, and jumbles that will be the stars of
any contemporary holiday—or everyday!—table.”
—Matt Lee and Ted Lee, authors of The Lee Bros. Charleston
Kitchen
“Anne Byrn has not only given us a hundred reasons to bake for
ourselves and others, but she has also curated a collection of
histories as rich and delicious as the treats themselves.”
—Kelly Fields, James Beard Award nominee and chef-owner of Willa
