Becca Rea-Tucker has been “saying it with sugar” since 2018 on her Instagram account @thesweetfeminist. From pro-abortion pies to prison abolitionist sugar cookies, Becca’s never shied away from adorning her baked goods with her thoughts, including her belief that all feelings are valid and deserve to be fully felt. Baking by Feel is a choose-your-own baking adventure that’s organized by mood. The book is organized by five emotional states: happy, sad, mad, anxious, and hopeful. Within these chapters are 65 go-to recipes, each paired with a different emotion. Think Kitchen Sink Cookies for when you’re feeling awkward; Cardamom Caramel Poke Cake for when you’re optimistic and want to try something new; Thick & Chewy Maple Cookies for when you’re moody and need a zing of sweet heat ;and Becca’s Instagram-famous Brownies for when you’re feeling lost and craving something familiar!
