Hello!
My name is Martin Sorge, and I’ve loved baking ever since I set the microwave on fire making a “biscuit” as a wee youngster. I’m a self-taught baker inspired by dozens of blogs, a vast cookbook collection, my local public library, the people around me, and what grows around the Great Lakes.
Pre-Order the Great Bakes Cookbook!
Martin Sorge, winner of the Great American Baking Show, guides readers through more than 100 recipes for sweet and savory bakes that celebrate the bounty of the Midwest, from modern classics to innovative show-stoppers.
When Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith crowned Martin Sorge the winner of the Great American Baking Show in 2023, few would have guessed that his baking journey began with him setting the microwave on fire trying to make a biscuit. But after years spent in the kitchen, he had become a full-fledged "baking nerd next door"--the perfect guide to explain how to adjust a recipe for rye flour or perfect your pavlova without bogging you down with too many details.
