At Home with Magnolia: Classic American Recipes from the Owner of Magnolia Bakery

by Allysa Torey, John Kernick (Photographer)

Allysa Torey’s Magnolia Bakery in New York City is the place to get all-American sweet treats, like their famous pastel frosted cupcakes. But at her country home in upstate New York, Allysa cooks a lot more than desserts. Now, in this full-color cookbook, she shares more than 90 of her favorite recipes for everyday meals—and invites you to experience the delights of country living, Allysa Torey–style.

I picked this book up at the Dollar Tree and let me say it’s worth more than a dollar. This book contains delicious recipes, tasty Summer salads that are not only colorful and beautiful but delish! If you love cooking , elegance and southern cuisines, then this book is for you.

Now run to the Dollar Tree 🌲 and get your copy. 😊

Not to be confused with a restaurant of the same name in Waco, Texas. This one is in New York. This collection of recipes are what I would consider California yuppie despite the disclaimer that they are traditional. The recipes themselves appear simple and the book is loaded with color pictures.

Great recipes!!! If you like to visit Magnolia Bakery in NYC, you'll love recreating some of these delicious treats in your own home!

Everything we've made from this book has turned out delicious. All recipes are simple with easy-to-find ingredients, and range from light Italian fare to all-American classics. To make the recipes truly shine, the home cook should place emphasis on freshness and quality of ingredients, as the recipes are designed to take advantage of uninhibited natural flavors. The desserts are spectacular, befitting the core specialties of the gem NYC bakery. Highly, highly recommended!

Solid cookbook filled with simple, comforting recipes. A nice mix of both sweet and savory items using ingredients found at your local grocery store. Emphasis is placed on fresh seasonal ingredients. Out of the eight or nine dishes we have already made, there was only one recipe we would not try again. A definite winner.

I wasn't expecting much from it but pretty pictures and maybe a cupcake recipe or two. Surprise, surprise: the recipes turned out to be solid and I especially recommend Lemon-Tarragon Chicken. In general, she uses way too much cream and butter for my taste, but it's easy enough to solve it: put less! This is a lovely edition as well, in gentle pink and green hues.

The recipes themselves are nothing special, but leafing through it reminded me oft the things that are delicious and then I made them in my own way. For example:
Crostini with Goat Cheese, Tomatoes, and Red Onion
Cream of Carrot Soup
Creamy Tomato Soup with Orzo
Roast Lemon Herb Chicken with Pan Juices

This is a lovely little cookbook. Beautiful to look at with awesome recipes. The pepper relish has become one of my staples, and I can't wait to try the corn fritters with chili/lime mayo, and the strawberry icebox pie.
