Baking is truly medicinal, in my opinion. Whenever I’m stressed, anxious, or even just bored, I head right for the mixer and flour. Nothing soothes the soul like a batch of cookies in the oven. But honestly, it doesn’t stop there; even the happiest of days can be amplified by trying out a new page in the cookbook.

Cooking and baking is both physical and mental therapy.

– Mary Berry
