Welcome!
I’m Bahareh, the photographer and baker behind Baking is Therapy, in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
My love for baking and photography started in 2015, when I first moved to the States. For a couple of years, I was torn between being a full time chemical engineer and following what I truly enjoy, food and photography — I guess you can tell which one won!
On September 2018, I started this blog and called it “Baking is Therapy”, because that is what baking has been for me, my happy place. When I bake, I sink into a world with so much beauty and possibilities, where you have the chance to create whatever your heart desires. In developing new recipes, I am always inspired by food cultures from all over the world and try to explore new flavors and ingredients in my recipes to make them unique.
Besides baking and coming up with new recipes, I also enjoy making recipe videos (sometimes too much!) and taking drool-worthy photos of the final product. I try to make my videos soothing and relaxing to watch while keeping it short and to the point. You can see samples of my work on YouTube.
My photos and recipes have been featured in different websites and social media accounts such as Sur La Table, The Feed Feed and Nestle Toll House.
Let’s work together!
