This stunning new collection is sure to be a favorite of novice and experienced bakers alike. The recipes in Bake Yourself Happy: Cookie Recipes for Beating the Blues are certainly the delicious highlight, but it's Borelli's belief in the therapeutic benefits of baking that sets her book apart. While teaching baking classes at care facilities for troubled adults and teens, Borelli discovered the act of baking helped her students feel happy, comforted, and relaxed.

These observations made Borelli realize that to share her favorite recipes and baking techniques was to share a key to contentment that could positively impact everyone.
