Will This Make You Happy by Tanya Bush, illustrated by Forsyth Harmon

“This is an entirely different kind of cookbook, one that makes you want to curl up and read cover to cover. I loved it.”

—Sohla El-Waylly, James Beard Award winner and author of the bestselling cookbook Start Here


Over the course of a year, Tanya embarks on a journey that carries her from her tiny apartment to the sunlit kitchens of an Italian agriturismo to the basement of a bustling Brooklyn bakery, where she rediscovers her appetite for pleasure, indulgence, and meaningful work. A culinary memoir and love story, interwoven with innovative and approachable baking recipes, Will This Make You Happy is for readers and bakers looking for something messier, more experimental, and honest than the typical aspirational cookbook.
