Welcome to my Website!

You’ve come to the right place for baking tips, recipes, and video clips. As the author of 7 cookbooks and dozens of newspaper and magazine stories about food, I love sharing my passion for life in the kitchen.

I’ve always been fascinated by food, especially baking, ever since I was a kid growing up in Shanghai. Award-winning food writers Matt and Ted Lee, after spending a day in my kitchen, called me “The Cake Crusader”. I’ve written two baking books, Baking in America, which won the 2003 James Beard Foundation Award, and A Baker’s Odyssey, my new cookbook celebrating America’s great immigrant baking heritage. I encourage you to explore my website to learn more about me and what I write. More >>

Visiting the home kitchens of more than five dozen of America's master immigrant bakers, award-winning cookbook author Greg Patent discovered the baking secrets of 30 cultures around the world, from Austria, Norway, and Italy to Mexico, India, and Nigeria.
