Rage Baking: The Transformative Power of Flour, Fury, and Women's Voices

The “political cookbook that has the food world buzzing” (Forbes, Editors’ Pick) features 50+ recipes, short essays, interviews, and quotes from some of the best bakers, activists, and outspoken women in our country today.

The 2016 election. The January 6th insurrection. Impeachment, twice. The overturning of Roe v. Wade.

For many women, baking now has a new meaning. It’s an outlet for expressing our feelings about the current state of American politics and culture. It’s a way to deal with our stress and anxiety, and, yes, rage and fury.

Rage Baking offers more than 50 cookie, cake, tart, and pie recipes—with beautiful photography by Jerelle Guy—to help vent these emotions. And it goes further. Inside you’ll find inspirational essays, reflections, and interviews with well-known bakers and impassioned feminists and activists to help motivate you to act and organize in your communities.

Be inspired with recipes, such as:

• Oatmeal Cookies from Ruth Reichl
• Lemon Bars from Vallery Lomas
• Swedish Visiting Cake from Dorie Greenspan
• Rum Raisin Brownies from Julia Turshen
• Root Beer Cake with Chocolate–Root Beer Glaze from Carla Hall

• Almond and Chocolate Leche Cake from Pati Jinich

“Timely” (The New York Times), fun, and creative, this cookbook speaks to a wide range of bakers who are looking for new ways to use their sweetest skills to combine food and activism. Rage Baking brings women together with humor and passion to defend, resist, and protest.
