Baking Cookbooks

By Sarah Yurch | October 4 2023 | HolidaysCooking

Your sourdough starter from the early days of lockdown may be long dead, but baking cookbooks are alive and kicking!

With the weather finally cool enough in most parts of the country to turn the oven on, a new season of The Great British Baking Show on Netflix, and the holidays just around the corner, sales are ready for liftoff. Always a popular category within cooking, baking gets a double sales boost from entertaining and gift-giving during the holiday season. In the final weeks of the calendar year, baking cookbooks can sell over four times as many copies as they do in an average week.

From breads to cakes to cookies, check out some of our top selling titles below, or click here for a more complete list.
