Cookbook Club: Life is What You Bake It

Winning the Great American Baking Show was just the beginning for attorney-turned-foodie Vallery Lomas. Catch us on Instagram Live TODAY at 2pm East/11am West!

It’s no question that author and recipe developer Vallery Lomas was robbed after winning the infamous season of The Great American Baking Show that never aired. However, Vallery “made lemon curd out of lemons” and took the opportunity to leave her law practice after 8 years and go in a different direction. She deserves all the praise and more, and thankfully with the release of her new book, Life is What You Bake It, we are given another opportunity to celebrate her incredible talent.

Vallery’s new cookbook has it all: pastry, bread, family favorites, and more. From biscuits with as many layers as her flaky pie crust to show-stopping layer cakes, her book bursts with soulful flavors and stories from her southern upbringing, delicate pastries inspired by her studies in Paris, fluffy breads, fried dough, and tales from the tent. You will love the Chocolate Mint Moon Pies, but you won’t want to miss her NYC Bagels, Canelés, Bourbon Pecan Pie, or the wow-worthy Punch Bowl Cake.
