Baking Inspirations

I have a thing for vintage cookbooks. They are so inspiring in a time when homemade sweets are almost only limited to cookies, brownies and muffins; they remind one that it is not impossible to prepare pastries like Buchteln ("sweet buns") or Hefekranz ("yeast wreath") and a great variety of cakes at home. My two personal favorites are Hajková, Mária. Édeskönyv. Bratislava: Madách Könyvkiadó, 1986. and Gööck, Roland. Das neue große Kochbuch. Gütersloh: Bertelsmann Lesering, 1963.
