Back by popular demand for the 2026 holiday season!
When From Dayton, With Love sold out shortly after its release last holiday season, I wasn't entirely sure there would be a second printing. But the requests for copies kept coming, and I couldn't be happier to bring this little collection of Dayton's sweetest memories back for another holiday season.
This 100-page community-driven cookbook is a love letter to Dayton told through recipes, photographs, and the stories of the people who make them. Within its pages are heirlooms passed down through generations, handwritten recipe cards softened by time, and modern favorites that have already earned a place at the table.
Spanning more than a century of baking in the Miami Valley, From Dayton, With Love celebrates the everyday kitchens that built this city's character. From heritage cookies brought from Portugal and India, to simple cakes and pies shared at church socials and neighborhood gatherings, these are the bakes that have shaped family traditions and connected communities.
It's a tribute to home, to memory, and to the recipes that remind us who we are. And I'm so happy these stories will find their way into a few more kitchens this year.
With gratitude to our 2026 sponsor: Kunal Patel Group + Glasshouse
