My Thoughts
I meditate daily, and bake weekly for my family’s and my own nourishment and enjoyment. I’ve baked bread at least once a week since my youngest child was diagnosed with severe food allergies, about 14 years ago. I only started meditating late last year.
I use my hands for kneading - I and over the years, I’ve definitely found mindfulness in my baking process and was hoping to find more in this book.
While a worthwhile cookbook, I’ve been doing most of these suggestions without forethought - I think they’re a fairly natural extension of a consistent baking mindset.
If you’re completely brand new to baking and mindfulness, I’d borrow this one from the library before buying.
Thank you to Leaping Hare Press and NetGalley for the DRC
