“Miller elevates the story by turning it into a Pinterest fantasy of rural America… [Her] visions of bucolic Vermont landscapes, cinnamon-scented kitchens and small-town friendliness make this reverie of country life an appealing one.” — The New York Times Book Review

“Add in some romance and mouth-watering food descriptions, and Louise Miller's debut novel is a giant serving of comfort food. Treat yourself.” — RealSimple

“This book is super cozy—probably because it takes place in a small town in Vermont, and because the protagonist has a dog named Salty, and because she's a baker who spends her days working at an inn. Okay, it's Gilmore Girls.” — Bon Appetit

“"[An] endearing debut… Miller, a pastry chef herself, writes about food with vivid detail, but her rhythmic prose is even crisper when her interests converge [and she] also excels at characterization, revealing her protagonist's complex pasts in subtle ways.” — Publishers Weekly

“Pies aren't simple. Neither is Livvy or The City Baker's Guide to Country Living. All three, however, are capable of warming the heart.” — PopMatters

“With insight, warmth, and humor, Louise Miller describes life in a kitchen as only an experienced baker can—The City Baker's Guide to Country Living is a magnificent debut.” — J. Ryan Stradal, author of Kitchens of the Great Midwest

“Compulsively readable and written with deep tenderness… in a rare book that not only whets the appetite, but makes the heart a little more whole.” — Erika Swyler, author of The Book of Speculation

“Olivia Rawlings, a rough-cut gem, is challenged to become stronger, wiser and kinder than she's ever had to be. I fell in love with the community of Guthrie, VT, the soul-healing landscape, the quirky characters, and the sumptuous desserts she creates for them.” — Juliette Fay, author of The Shortest Way Home and The Tumbling Turner Sisters
