Annotations:
America's favorite baker has been on a road trip around the country. Now she's back, with something for every dessert lover: the best pies, cakes, puddings, crisps, cookies, ice creams, and candies in the land. Photos.
Publisher's Remarks:
When Nancy Baggett set out to find the best homemade desserts in America, she knew just where to look. She turned to small-town cooks who are locally famous for their specialties, innkeepers and bakers whose treats lure guests back year after year, and church and bake-sale ladies whose creations are always snapped up at events.
Many of Nancy's finds have never been published, or even written down, before. Some of the local treasures include
* an irresistibly easy blueberry buckle from a Vermont bed-and-breakfast
* a tender peach cobbler from a home cook in the Ozarks who learned it from her mother
* a lusciously thick chocolate-banana malted from a celebrated soda fountain in St. Louis
* a supremely moist chiffon cake
