SUMMARY

"These marvelous recipes are so well articulated that you know you're in the best of hands. But they are also a cultural gift, one that reminds us that America's colorful forms and flavors come from those who left their countries, but not their baking traditions. This is a close and joyful look, aimed through the lens of baking, at who we are as a nation." --Deborah Madison, author of "Local Flavors" ""A Baker's Odyssey" is a fascinating book. Not only is this an amazing collection of heirloom recipes, but there are master lessons in baking. Pastry chefs as well as home bakers will adore this book. These are priceless authentic recipes." --Shirley O. Corriher, author of "CookWise" "What a wonderful trip into the heart of America through the hands of immigrant women baking memories of all the places they came from in their own American kitchens. Greg Patent's detailed explanations in words and photos allow us the luxury of travel without moving a foot from our stoves." --Betty fussell, author of "Masters of American Cookery" "Don't miss this opportunity to join Greg Patent on his extraordinary pilgrimage to discover the marvels of ethnic baking in the melting pot of America's kitchens. He showcases bakers whose generous spirits and unique recipes inspire us to pass on the traditions of our own worlds of baking." --Flo Braker, author of "The Simple Art of Perfect Baking" "Greg Patent is to American baking what Elizabeth David was to English--a thorough scholar, evocative writer, and, most of all, a first-rate baker." --Damon Lee Fowler, author of "Damon Lee Fowler's New Southern Baking" "I would go anywhere with Greg Patent. I know I am going tolearn something interesting about food, not just how to cook something very delicious. But this odyssey is exactly the kind of trip I dream about. He takes us into the kitchens and cultures of so many different people, Americans who are often keeping up traditions lost even in their ancestral countries. Thank you, Greg." --Arthur Schwartz, www.thefoodmaven.comPatent, Greg is the author of 'A Baker's Odyssey', published 2007 under ISBN 9780764572814 and ISBN 0764572814.
