Bake & Pray: Liturgies and Recipes for Baking Bread as a Spiritual Practice by Kendall Vanderslice

5.0

This is a phenomenal book! I really love how the author has laid out so many thoughtful, paced breath prayers and liturgies to literally use during the process of mixing and baking bread. It's wonderfully concrete for me in a wild, traumatic season of life. I've also been meaning to get back to bread making but haven't had the mental energy to figure out where to start again. Vanderslice's years of expertise teaching workshops to bakers of all levels mean she provides a really excellent, set plan.

I didn't know before reading it that the book also includes recipes for traditional breads from around the world for different parts of the church year! I will begin with the basics in ordinary time and look forward to trying some more special treats to explore new-to-me traditions.

I already have numerous people I plan to buy a copy for! I could not recommend it more highly.
