ReplyDeleteI feel good and kind when I bake, too! :) LOL
ReplyDeleteGood teaser!
I've been thinking of adding this book to my to-be-read -list. Great teaser!

Greetings,
Tiina
Cooking is usually just a chore for me, but every now and then when I am in the mood...
ReplyDeleteI love cooking and baking...it makes me happy. Great teaser!
ReplyDeleteI want to read that book so badly. I love the teaser. Baking does help.:)

Sounds interesting, I've never seen this book before!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great teaser...I guess we all have our own way of dealing with things.
ReplyDeleteMmm...doesn't sound like a very healthy way to relate - but I do know the therapeutic powers of baking. I guess it cures all ills. Great teaser!
ReplyDeleteYou can check out mine here.
What a wonderful teaser!Food and cooking/baking can be healing to many people. I wish I was a bettter baker! I love foodie books like this and have a review copy of this book and can't wait to read it.
ReplyDeleteSandy: So you're a good cook, uh?!
ReplyDeleteMissy: I used to bake a lot when I was stressed. My roommates in law schoolo loved it because they had homemade study treats all the time!
Tina: It's a great book and there's a good recipe at the end of every chapter! Yumm!
Al: It seems people either love to cook or hate it. I like it but my husband tends to do the cooking, I do the baking!
Lisa: I think you'd like this book!
Tea: I really like the book. The author used to work in Hollywood for her sister, the actress, Sandra Bullock!
Vicki: It's a great book, a memoir, and it's not that long. The author finally gives up her job in film to do what she loves: bake.
Jo-Jo: I think a stress-reliever is very important. I guess for many of us it's reading!
celi: Well, the author doesn't like people much but it makes her happy when they get joy from eating the items she bakes so when she says it that way it sounds like a good way to relate to people, to me anyway!
Bonnie: I agree, I think food is very healing for many people. I hope you like the book!
Wonderful teaser -- another one to add to my to-read list!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great teaser, Amy. Sounds like the character is turning over a new leaf--for the better. :-)
ReplyDeleteBaking can be such a great stress reliever with the best side effect - you get to eat what you baked!!! I want to read this one. Great teaser!
