“Original and highly personal, The Red Truck Bakery Farmhouse Cookbook is a joyful love story to many comfort foods.”—Jacques Pépin, chef and author
“If a cookbook could be a page-turner, this is the one! Brian not only knows how to create comfort in spades, but he writes both the sweet and savory recipes in such a way that you feel like you’re part of those five generations who inspired these vittles.”—Carla Hall, chef and author
ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR: Garden & Gun
Brian Noyes, founder of the beloved Red Truck Bakery in Marshall, Virginia, and author of the Red Truck Bakery Cookbook, presents more than 95 all-new, comforting recipes celebrating ingredients and traditions from the bakery's home on the edge of the Shenandoah Valley and the Blue Ridge mountains. With small-town charm, an emphasis on local, seasonal produce, and country comfort inspiration from the 170-year-old farmhouse where the bakery began, The Red Truck Bakery Farmhouse Cookbook features Brian’s favorite savory recipes and old-time classics from family, friends, and the bakery archives. This is the food that Brian cooks at home as well as for the bakery's thousands of customers nationwide—plus recipes for favorite Red Truck Bakery dishes that have not been shared before.
From delightful lunch and dinner options like Potato & Pesto Flatbread, Corn Crab Cakes with Jalapeño Mayonnaise, Mid-July Tomato Pie, Pork Tenderloin with Rosemary and Blueberries, and Sweet Potato and Poblano Enchiladas, to knockout desserts like Lexington Bourbon Cake, Virginia Peanut Pie, and Caramel Cake with Pecans (which Garden & Gun magazine called "the perfect Southern dessert"), the recipes in The Red Truck Bakery Farmhouse Cookbook are what we are all craving—unfussy, homey, Southern-leaning dishes that focus on local produce but don’t shy away from decadence. And for those who are eating vegetarian or vegan, there are plenty of plant-based options, like a vegan and gluten-free Coffee Cake, Carrot & Leek Pot Pies, Mushroom-Ricotta Lasagne with Port Sauce, and the Bakery's beloved “Beetloaf” Sandwiches.
True to the spirit of the Red Truck Bakery, the recipes in the Red Truck Bakery Farmhouse Cookbook deliver unfailingly delicious comfort all year round.

Starred review from June 6, 2022
Noyes (The Red Truck Bakery Cookbook), owner of the Virginia bakery that gives his book its name, returns with a delectable odyssey through the flavors of the South. When the author, a California native who spent childhood summers with his North Carolinian grandmother, left publishing to pursue his passion for baking, he took to heart her credo that “cooking was about creating comfort, not just feeding people” and showcases that sentiment with recipes inspired by his love of the region’s bounty and rich culinary history. Alongside lush photographs of Virginia’s verdant countryside are dishes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner: among the standouts are an amped-up version of a Southern standard—“Gussied-Up” hush puppies with country ham and pepper jelly—and an excellent marrying of two Southern favorites in fried green tomato sandwiches with pimento cheese. Vegetarians will devour the “Beetloaf” sandwiches on whole wheat focaccia, a “meatless but meaty” spin on the classic, and a customer favorite. Dessert fiends, meanwhile, won’t be left wanting by the hearty sampling of sweets, including an innovative vegan and gluten-free coffee cake that Noyes developed with Virginia’s first lady through email exchanges during the pandemic. A lively tools and tips section, and vivid instructional photos, round out Noyes’s dazzling volume. This is a must-have for lovers of Southern cooking. -

Noyes returns after Red Truck Bakery Cookbook: Gold-Standard Recipes from America's Favorite Rural Bakery with this second Red Truck Bakery offering. It includes fan-favorite recipes omitted from the previous title, along with what are sure to be new crowd-pleasers. Breads, breakfasts, and desserts are well covered of course, but Noyes also expands into lunch, dinner, soups/stews, and sides, making this an exciting collection for any cook. The flavors are Southern, with updated techniques resulting in approachable, well-developed, and delicious recipes using easily sourced ingredients (get your buttermilk ready). The Beetloaf Sandwich, a unique vegetarian spin on a cherished comfort food, especially hits the mark. The book's clear design and instructions are enhanced by photos of dishes and the Virginia countryside where the bakery is located. VERDICT This new selection from an award-winning bakery is recommended for all public libraries.--P.J. Gardiner
