Make Challah and Call Me in the Morning: A Physician's Surprisingly Simple Prescription for Healthy Living

What if you could bake bread once a week, every week? What if the smell of fresh baking bread could turn your house into a home? And what if the act of making the bread—mixing and kneading, watching and waiting—could heal your heartache and your emptiness, your sense of being overwhelmed? It can. This is the surprise that physician-mother Beth Ricanati learned when she started baking challah almost a decade ago: that simply stopping and baking bread was the best medicine she could prescribe for women in a fast-paced world. Make Challah and Call Me in the Morning chronicles a journey of a thousand challahs and one woman’s quest for wellness and peace.
