Hello, and welcome to another episode of the podcast. Today, I have an interview with Anne Byrn. Anne is a New York Times bestselling food writer and author. Her books include the ever-popular Cake Mix Doctor, A New Take on Cake, Skillet Love and her newest book Baking in the American South. In this beautiful book Anne shares the stories and recipes from bakers all over the South - past and present, near and far, seen and unseen, all to answer the question, what makes southern baking so special? During our conversation today Anne and I talk all about the land, people, and history of the south, her idea for the book, along with her process for collecting stories and testing recipes. Anne also shares the complicated role of sugar in Southern baking and the age-old question of how if you don’t live in the South, you can bake like a Southerner? Incidentally, if you’re not a cook or baker, but love to read cookbooks, this is a book you will want to add to your collection as it is filled with stories, history, memories, and snapshots of southern ingredients, equipment and baked goods all as an ode to Baking in the American South.
