Homestyle Baking, Desserts & Comfort Dinners

Hundreds of recipes by Taylor Brooks – cookies, cakes, breads and family dinners.

Profile:

Desserts make up more than half of Taylor Brooks's recipes: cookies and cookie cups, Bundt cakes, banana breads and muffins, granola bars, cinnamon roll casseroles and soft sourdough loaves. The flavors are familiar, such as apple, maple, pumpkin, peanut butter and sour cream, and the focus is on bakes that suit an ordinary weeknight as well as a holiday table. You can start with the Desserts category.

The rest of the collection covers the meals that fill out a family week. In Dinners, you will find slow cooker chicken and stuffing, one-skillet turkey shepherd's pie and classic potato salad scaled for a crowd. Breakfast brings French toast for a full table, and a few appetizers such as cheese balls, feta dip and mozzarella-stuffed pretzels cover the party side.

Taylor's recipes favor pantry-friendly ingredients, plain instructions and quantities that make sense for sharing, whether that means a dozen servings or a single loaf. Pick a recipe, bake something warm and see which one becomes a regular in your kitchen.
