Great British Bake Off winner and Comfort author Candice Brown shares the essential recipes that see her through life as she lives with anxiety and depression.

Make your kitchen your happy place

Cooking has always been about more than the finished dish for Candice Brown. It's about the whole process and what that process can do for your mind, as well as your tummy. Happy Cooking, her second book, is packed with simple and delicious recipes to bring a little warmth back into those grey days when it all feels a bit too much. Here you'll find your favorite bakes to bring a smile to your face, quick pick-me-ups for the busy weekdays, therapeutic recipes to keep your hands busy, and hearty dishes that take care of themselves as well as you. These are recipes to live for, to get out of bed for, to eat under the duvet, and to share with the ones you love. Includes metric measures.

Candice Brown is the winner of The Great British Bake Off 2016. Born in North London, Candice grew up in the pubs that her parents ran - and that she famously immortalized in gingerbread for her most talked about showstopper - always chipping in when needed, be it pulling pints or mopping floors. With her degree in Sport, PE and Community Studies, Candice was a secondary school teacher when she applied for GBBO and managed to juggle planning her fabulous bakes and filming the show with teaching lively teenagers. Candice is currently taking a break from teaching to explore new adventures in flour.
