The author

Rachelle Merchant

Rachelle Merchant is a chiropractor, a mom of four and the founder of Rooted & Refined in Castle Rock, Colorado. She has loved cooking since she was young. She and her husband share a chiropractic practice, so health and wellness are at the heart of their home, and that's why she bakes her bread from simple, real ingredients. On holidays she's up before everyone else with fresh bread and desserts in the oven.

The Rooted & Refined Editions are the books she wanted on her own counter. They're beautiful enough to leave out and practical enough to cook from, with real quantities, make-ahead timelines and plans you can follow.
