Book excerpt: When Kayla Lobermeier first welcomed readers into her wholesome farm-to-table kitchen, she brought the seasonal, from-scratch cooking of her family’s homestead to home cooks everywhere. Now, Kayla is back and focusing exclusively on baked goods, with a gorgeous follow-up cookbook that will satisfy all your cottagecore cravings. Bakers of all skill levels and walks of life will delight in the 60 rustic sweets and savory treats on offer as they whip up recipe after inspired recipe. The cottagecore movement is all about returning to a simpler, more sustainable time. And what could be more simple, sustainable, and delicious than home-baked, from-scratch treats and sweets? Transport yourself to pastoral times with cozy hearth yeast breads like Garden Tomato-Basil Sourdough Focaccia or Cinnamon Star Bread with Eggnog Icing. Whip up cozy pies and tarts that are sure to warm your home and heart, like the Old-Fashioned Oatmeal Pecan Pie or Tea Party Strawberry Tartlets. Fancy hosting a romantic garden party? Look no further than the Raspberry-Pistachio Eclairs or from-scratch Puff Pastry Croque Madame (with homemade Cottage Sandwich Bread!). Whether you live in the countryside, the city, or anywhere in between, you’ll soon be bringing the inspiring, idyllic world of cottagecore into all of your home-baked goods!
