"“Becca's baked goods and bold activism have always made me feel inspired and supported, not only as a woman, but also as a BIPOC member of the baking community. I have no doubt her one-of-a-kind cookbook will do the same for home bakers: encouraging them to experiment with new flavors and techniques and, most importantly, to practice self-care in doing so."" — Michelle Lopez, creator of @hummingbirdhigh and author of Weeknight Baking “Lots of people think eating baked goods makes you feel good, but Becca understands that the act of baking can be thoroughly transformative: a way to process, meditate, and even heal. This incredibly special book is unlike any other, and will hold a special place on my shelf—and in my heart—forever.” — Erin Jeanne McDowell, author of The Book on Pie and host of Bake it Up a Notch ""If you, like me, love talking about feelings as much as food, you'll adore this book. Baking By Feel is a tangible way to literally get in touch with our emotions and is such a great reminder that baking is an embodied experience that allows us to be present, connected, and grounded."" — Julia Turshen, New York Times best-selling author of Simply Julia and host of Keep Calm & Cook On ""Rea-Tucker urges bakers to let their feelings guide their creations in her quirky debut. No matter [their] mood...bakers will savor these tempting options."" — Publishers Weekly"
