Review

2018 National Jewish Book Award in Women's Studies, Finalist2019 Wilbur Award, Nonfiction Winner"Ricanati's memoir with recipes is a well-written investigation into her maturation as a doctor, her growth as a wife and mother, and the increasing wisdom she gained while pondering Jewish rites and rituals."―Booklist, starred review“‘I knead for my needs,’ the author insists―and readers are likely to join her.” ―Kirkus Reviews“I smiled while reading this book―I couldn’t help it. It’s not about making challah healthy, it’s about challah-making as healthful. Buy this book for any friend and they’ll get it, they’ll smile, and they’ll learn why you honored them with it.”―Mike Roizen, MD, four-time #1 New York Times bestselling author and founder of RealAge.com“This is the perfect prescription for a happy life: slow down, be present, and bake challah. Beth Ricanati has taken the mindfulness movement to kitchens everywhere. This book inspires readers to practice being fully present with yourself and your friends and family during the most nurturing of times.” ―Suze Yalof Schwartz, author of Unplug: A Simple Guide to Meditation for Busy Skeptics and Modern Soul Seekers and CEO/founder of Unplug Meditation“Beth Ricanati has written a unique book: part recipe, part health, with a whole lot of soul. Reading her book is like making a new friend―you feel transported to her California kitchen. A yummy, cozy and inspiring read.”―Lori Palatnik, author, media personality, and founding director of The Jewish Women’s Renaissance Project“This is not just a book about making bread. It is a book about making choices, and like a good challah is at times chewy, evocative, and a little sweet. Its wisdom transported me back to the kitchens of my grandmothers and the knowledge that in complicated times, the way forward is always the simple and beloved.”―David Baum, PhD, DMin, speaker, coach, conversation architect, and author of Lightning in a Bottle and The Randori Principles“A women’s wellness doctor who prescribes the practice of baking bread? I feel like this is exactly the kind of out-of-the-box thinking that is going to save the world right now.”―Jennie Nash, author of The Victoria’s Secret Catalog Never Stops Coming and Other Lessons I Learned From Breast Cancer and founder of AuthorAccelerator.com“Beth Ricanati’s book is like having coffee with a girlfriend: honest, interesting, and thoughtful. Part memoir, part cookbook, part health guide―but more than all of these, Braided is a book that will inspire you to dig deep, think about life, and make challah, maybe even at the same time.” ―Ruchi Koval, director of Jewish Family Experience and author of Conversations with God“Some of my favorite moments in teaching American Jewish women’s history surround the home and the politics of gender and domesticity―a contemporary space that Beth Ricanati has reclaimed for herself and for all of us through the simple ritual of weekly challah baking. In class, my students discover that contemporary Jewish women can now choose and participate in ancient traditions and rituals in ways that empower them rather than control them. Ricanati's beautifully written story of challah, the joy of creating real food for those we love, and the healing power of being in the moment enlivens this precious inheritance, never more needed than now.” ―Marcie Cohen Ferris, Professor, American Studies Department, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill“The book reads in part like a food memoir and in part like a love letter to the act of challah baking. After reading it, it is hard not to gather your own ingredients and immediately start kneading.”―Rochelle Newman Rubinoff, JUF News“Interspersed with anecdotes about her patients, accounts of her upbringing and schooling, and sidebars on nutrition, cooking tools and ingredients, [Braided] explains how the slow-paced, wondrous process of baking bread has enabled Ricanati to feel “present” in a fast-paced world, while also fostering a connection to her roots, other women, and her community.”―Jennifer Rak, The Jewish Week, Food & Wine “It is an inspiring and deeply hopeful story, centered by a deceptively simple task.”―D. Ferrara, Story Circle Book Reviews“I am enamored with this book. Not only do I love the easy and friendly style in which it is written . . . Reading her book puts you right there in the kitchen with her while you also gain deep respect for her journey as a physician, mother, and spouse.”―Krysta Gibson, New Spirit Journal

I loved this book. For me, it was about slowing down and being in the moment and now I'm trying to embrace that more often. But, definitely, Beth Ricanati, MD, has taught me to stop, think and be present. I use her challah recipe every Friday now and while I'm making it, pounding it, I'm focused on making this challah for the people I love. We all lead crazy busy lives and this book says STOP, slow down and make challah, a traditional bread for the Jewish sabbath. But seriously, this book is for anyone, male or female, any religion, any ethnicity, who just needs to SLOW DOWN. It's mental health cleansing.

I am so grateful to Beth for writing this book, her thoughtfulness and gentle humor were exactly what I didn't know I needed in the midst of a busy life and crazy world. She expresses an honesty that makes the reader feel like they are having a conversation with her over tea. I so appreciate the journey she takes us on from a young girl who is eager to find her life's "calling" through her love of art and eventually, medicine, a journey that has led to this lovely book.While I was raised Catholic and have not yet baked Challah without help from friends, I so appreciate how she makes the reader feel personally invited to this sacred ritual that has been part of the lives of millions of Jewish people. We all have rituals, spiritual or otherwise, in our daily lives, but the question is whether or not we take time to find the meaning in some of these rituals. Beth invites us, through her own experiences, to make time once a week to intentionally pause, reflect and find the healing and meaning in a ritual that is designed to nourish us and our loved ones. And most importantly, a ritual that brings us together with others - in a world that can often feel so separated through social media and busy schedules, being with others is sometimes the best medicine of all.Here's the thing, I often read these reviews to find a connection in what other reviewers are saying. Why should I buy and read this book? How will it help me or my friends? Here's what I have said to others about this book that I'll now put in words here: I was raised with morals and values focused on the constant giving to others. I am also a trained yoga instructor who has learned a small bit about self-care and meditative ritual. I have all the tools I need to live a balanced life, but the reality of a busy career and aging parents often leaves me feeling empty at the end of a day. Women are constantly being asked (even without a formal or direct question) to give of themselves. It is so often assumed in our world that women will be the fixer, caregiver, therapist, coach, chauffeur, or referee. But most days, no one gives us permission to make time for ourselves in a way that brings women together, supporting and celebrating each other. No judgement about clothing size or how clean your kitchen is or if you had time to try the latest celebrity diet. Sadly, we have been conditioned to wait for permission to take care of our bio-psycho-social needs, instead of assuming it is a critical component that allows all of our other roles to work. Beth's book is the permission you're seeking. She's a trained medical doctor who is writing you a prescription that your own physician probably wishes they could, but can't. This book is a reminder that we can come together around a ritual, as simple and complex as baking bread, and just be. The only agenda is baking Challah - whatever else rises, while the bread is being kneaded and baked, will come up as it is meant to and that is where the real healing takes place.You should buy this book for yourself. For your mother, your sister, your auntie, your gram, your best friend, your boss, your hair stylist, your kid’s piano teacher and the school bus driver. Be the one who gives the women in your life permission to make time for themselves, while still caring for those they love. It’s more than a book about bread. It’s a six-ingredient bread called Challah that will change your life because it will teach you to find patience in the process, find beauty in the struggle to properly braid and not burn it and to watch your own transformation through the weekly ritual of turning ingredients into fresh bread, with your own hands. And finally, to witness what happens when you make time for yourself, it can sometimes be the greatest gift you can also give to others.

I have to admit, it feels a bit voyeuristic to read this new effort of Beth Ricanati’s. She deftly weaves (as one might braid a loaf of challah) her own story as a mother, wife, and physician expert in women’s health with the almost spiritual devotion she has to preparing challah. She describes the friendships she’s formed in this passion, and touts the benefits of baking challah for strengthening her community. Beth is a smart physician and adheres to a healthy lifestyle. She provides her insights into the health benefits of each ingredient in her recipes. I very much enjoyed reading this book and getting to know the author as she seems like a friend I would like to have. David Z

We all need ways to feel inspired and Braided reminds us that we have the power to change and with the right mindset we can slow down and more fully appreciate what is all around us. I was moved by Dr. Ricanati's personal journey and how she became more present through the ritual of challah baking. Whether it is challah or something else that moves us it is never too late to become more present and more fulfilled. I am going to buy this book for those nearest and dearest in my life. What a wonderful read!

Dr. Beth Ricanati’s book Braided is a fun, easy read of one woman’s journey to figure out how to manage it all... a balancing act. She realized that by stopping each week to take time out for herself was the best medicine she could self-prescribe. Baking and making challah is restorative and healing and allows us the opportunity to connect with a greater community and disconnect from our busy lives...and of course we wind up with something delicious as the end result. For Beth, it’s not “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”. But rather “A challah each week gives us the presence we seek”. I am truly inspired by her words and inspired to start making my own challah each week!!

Like challah, this memoir is a wonderful mixture of ingredients: life's lessons, Jewish rituals and a surefire recipe.

Fun and inspirational...easy to read. Gives a great perspective on life. I cannot wait to try the included Chalah recipe this Friday

Such a delightful, inspiring book.... I loved it and am reading again already! Dr. Ricanati shares her expert thoughts and her personal stories in such a beautiful and informative memoir. Just reading the book itself was a great way for me to slow down, focus on "being present," and carve out time to practice mindfulness and ritual. Since reading the book, I have been inspired to create my own personal rituals, one of which is baking challah every week! Dr. Ricanati's recipe and tips on baking challah were easy and very accessible even for someone like me who is not a baker. And I loved her personal stories about how rituals like this can make a house a home.I also think this book is a great gift, and I have bought it for all of the women in my family and my closest friends for the holidays.... I can't say enough great things about this book!!
