Now in paperback, the beloved, James Beard Award-nominated baking book by the Brass Sisters, those two 'roundish women in their sixties' adored by TV audiences everywhere from Food Network to Cooking Channel and beyond. Marilynn and Sheila Brass describe themselves as 'two roundish bespectacled women in their sixties who have more than 119 years of home baking experience between them.' Since the hardcover publication of "Heirloom Baking", their first of two books, these inimitable sisters have become a pair of celebrities whose quirky personalities and delicious, classic, easy-to-follow recipes have endeared them to home cooks all across the country. Marilynn and Sheila are lifelong collectors of family and heirloom recipes, which have been passed down through the generations or found by the sisters at yard sales and antique stores. In "Heirloom Baking" Marilynn and Sheila bring together - and lovingly update - a century of America's favourite and most scrumptious desserts and other baked goods.
Included here are 150 recipes including the Pineapple Upside-Down Cake, which handily won out over Bobby Flay's own recipe on Throwdown, Marshmallow Fudge Brownies, Chocolate Coconut Chews, Chopped Apple Cake with Sticky Toffee Topping, Pumpkin Cheesecake Bread Pudding, Mexican Devil's Food Cake with Butter-Fried Pine Nuts, Cheese Blintzes, Auntie Ida's Pecan Ring, Butterscotch Bars with Brown Sugar Meringue Topping, Sugar Doughnuts, Fluffy White Cake, Holiday Apple Custard Pie, Lacy Oatmeal Cookies, Winnie McCarthy's Irish Bread, Mrs. Fleisher's Almond Cake, and much, much more. It contains 150 gorgeous, inspiring photographs throughout.
