In a world that often feels overwhelming, baking offers more than just sweet rewards-it offers a path to calm. Stress baking has emerged as a comforting ritual for many, turning the simple act of mixing flour, sugar, and eggs into a powerful coping mechanism. The rhythmic motions, warm aromas, and creative freedom found in baking can ground us in the present moment and offer a sense of control when everything else feels uncertain.
Research and personal stories alike support what many have instinctively known: baking really can help reduce stress and anxiety. Whether it's kneading dough, decorating cookies, or watching a cake rise in the oven, the kitchen becomes a sanctuary-a place where healing happens one recipe at a time.
This book isn't just about delicious recipes-it's about finding peace, one batch at a time.
