Summary "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.
