Braided : a journey of a thousand challahs

Braided : a journey of a thousand challahs

Ricanati, Beth, author.
Book 2018

"What if you could bake bread once a week, every week? And what if the act of making the bread -- mixing and kneading, watching and waiting -- could heal your sense of being overwhelmed? It can. This is the surprise that physician-mother Beth Ricanati learned when she started baking challah: that simply stopping and baking bread was the best medicine she could prescribe for women in a fast-paced world"-- Page [4] of cover.
