Simplify your holiday baking with sheet pan recipes from Molly Gilbert's new cookbook

Have you jumped onto the sheet pan dinner bandwagon? Preparing your entire dinner on a single sheet pan saves time and makes cleanup simple. Among the popular sheet pan cookbooks is Molly Gilbert’s “Sheet Pan Suppers.” Now, the cookbook author and French Culinary Institute graduate has a beautiful new book dedicated to sheet pan baking, called “Sheet Pan Sweets.”

The book features the expected birthday cakes — but Gilbert takes them to a new level with the coconut tres leches cake, a chocolate pear cake and a rolled pumpkin tiramisu cake. There are also breakfast offerings like apple fritter cake and spiced granola. Other recipes include bars, cookies, pies and even breads, like the orange olive oil challah.

Gilbert joins Here & Now‘s Robin Young to talk about the new book and provide some tips.
