The story of how this book made it from a Virginia farmhouse kitchen, to a word-of-mouth phenomenon, to a bakery business praised by President Barack Obama is kind of phenomenal. Dare I say even, the American Dream. But at the heart of this story is a meticulous former art director whose Southern roots, with an eye towards preserving the history of regional recipes, shines brightly.

I wasn't familiar with Red Truck Bakery in Virginia before I checked this book out. But now after reading their story and seeing these recipes if I'm ever in the area I will definitely check it out. Brian Noyes worked in the publishing industry, but always enjoyed baking on the side. Deciding to get away from the DC area, he and his partner purchased a farm in Virginia and he stared making jams and jellies to sell in the area, soon he expanded to baked good and Red Truck Bakery took off.

Surviving the Great Recession, they continue on today with two physical locations in Virginia. The recipes look amazing and I really like that he includes both savory and sweet recipes. There are definitely plenty I want to try myself.

Beautifully produced and filled with tantalizing recipes. Haven't tried any yet, but I've marked several. And since the bakery is an hour away from me, a day trip beckons.

Pictures of recipes? Not all are pictured. Commentary on recipes? Yes. Nutrition facts? No. Recipe Style? Southern-ish baking. Any keepers? A couple.

Is there a home for sale next door to the bakery?

Sometimes I like to pretend I am a Southern Gal, and when that happens I make biscuits and gravy and sit in the sunshine and read Southern cookbooks like they’re going out of style. I will definitely be trying a few recipes from this cookbook, but I’m keeping my review at three stars until I test the author’s biscuit recipe and decide if it’s better or worse than my current fav. 😜 May bump up later when I’ve made my way through a few recipes.

Also, a minor annoyance: I felt like there was a LOT of name-dropping, which, okay, if President Obama praised my baking I’d probably bring it up as often as possible too, but it seemed like every other recipe intro was “and then so-and-so told me X recipe was the best he’d ever had!” Def could’ve toned that down a bit.

3.5 stars I really liked that they had more unusual recipes with a regional focus. That said, I would have appreciated a list of some of their vendors and resources for those same regional ingredients. Favourites: Shenandoah Apple Cake with Maple Glaze Mac'n'Pimento Cheese Viginia Country Ham and Gruyere Quiche Chicken Potpie Holler Doughnuts (baked not fried) Black and Blueberry Pie Barnyard Breakfast Pie Spoonbread with Figs and Mascarpone Red Truck Bakery Granola Blueberry and Ginger Scones Strawberry Lem 3.5 stars I really liked that they had more unusual recipes with a regional focus.

Baking is not my forte but this cookbook is so charming I couldn’t resist. Not only does it contain bakery recipes from their store in Virginia but also breakfast dishes and a wonderful looking pimento cheese I can’t wait to try. The photographs were plenty and the bakery’s back story made for a delightful read. YUM!

First, i must say I don't care for southern food, but I love to look over cookbooks and this story just touched me. From the humble truck beginnings came a wonderful new/old life! A country girl at heart enjoyed this immensely, great pics and 100% southern recipes.
