The six-month training course Luminary Bakery provides for these struggling women facilitates personal and professional development – not only do they learn a trade, they are part of a safe and stable community.

Luminary is a safe place that builds confidence, encourages reflection and collaboration, and leaves judgement at the door.

Each chapter features approximately 10 delicious recipes – from show-stopping cakes and small cakes, to desserts ad breads.

This cookbook also features gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan options, as well as options for those short on resources or time.

Combining delicious recipes with stirring stories from the women empowered by Luminary Bakery, Rising Hope shows how anyone, anywhere, can learn how to bake, grow as an individual, and share these experiences with those around them.
