I’m using cooking as a therapeutic aid in my recovery and healing from mental illness that saw me hospitalised for 10 months. I was discharged at Christmas and cooking has become a focus for building confidence and self esteem. I rewarded myself with a Magimix food processor last week and thought I would make the dough in it. It ended in disaster as I think the quantity was too large for the machine and I thought I’d broken it! So rather than baking being stress relieving it ended up stress provoking. But the rolls were delicious and I enjoyed a few straight from the oven with a big cup of coffee!
