Dahlia Bakery Cookbook: Hip Hip Hooray!!! We have a deal!!! / by Shelley Lance, cookbook coauthor

At last!! We have a book contract with a publisher!!

Hip Hip Hooray!!! The Dahlia Bakery Cookbook will be published by William Morrow (the same publisher we had for our first 3 books, but with a new editor and team.)

The book is scheduled to come out in Fall, 2012.  (Also, the news about our cookbook deal came out on Eater a couple days ago.)

Fall, 2012-  that’s a long time from now, but we will do our level best to make it worth the wait! (In fact, on my “staycation” last week, I successfully tested 2 new recipes for the book, a luscious, vanilla scented peach jam that’s a breeze to make, and the Dahlia Bakery‘s sensationally chocolate-y rich pecan brownies- also quite easy to make- and which I’ve found can be thrown in a sealable plastic bag in the freezer and eaten at your leisure one by one in front of the TV.)

For a “taste” of the 135 recipes in the book, take a look at the photos, left to right:

top row: silk chocolate cream pie (without whip cream topping), buttermilk biscuits, hot buttered rum apple pie, English muffin fried egg sandwich

second row: chocolate heartland bundt cake, Jackie’s strata with sausage and chard, granola, lemon meringue tart

third row: old fashioned pumpkin pie, jellies and jams, olive oil cake with Brachetto cherries, cherry almond scones

bottom row: Julie making muffins, Beth icing yellow cupcakes, Garrett topping banana cream pie, Garrett icing double chocolate cake (By the way, Beth’s baby boy, Carter, our “unofficial recipe taster” during Beth’s pregnancy,  was born a week ago!  Beth and I agree that a good portion of his healthy 8 pounds 9 ounces weight came from all the Dahlia cupcakes Beth ate while testing!)

    Will you be including the chocolate butter pecan cookies with the salt? By far the best cookie in the world. Moved abroad for the next three years and am lost without them.

    Will the Sour Cherry Swirls be included? They look and sound wonderful.
