B. Dylan Hollis is a social media personality and New York Times bestselling author who has tasked himself with baking and tasting unusual recipes from bygone years. Born and raised on the island of Bermuda, he later attended college at the University of Wyoming to further a career as a jazz pianist and arranger. He stumbled into both baking and social media fame at once in 2020, when quarantine boredom led him to film an investigation of an old cookbook he had collected from an estate sale. Hundreds of recipes later, Dylan now entertains millions across TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram with his unique style and fast jokes.

Dylan Joins Google to discuss his book, "Baking Across America: A Vintage Recipe Road Trip." The book is a cross-country culinary journey, as Dylan ventures through the culture capitals of America to savor the very best bakes the nation has to offer. His retro recipes span the decades from the 1900s to the 2000s, and feature famous – and forgotten – desserts from every state.
