(More customer reviews)This has been a book that I can always depend on when I need a reference. The information is similiar to that I have received from nurses and doctors. It is just so handy to have it right at my fingertips. Several of my friends have asked to borrow this book, and I'm always apprehensive until it is returned to me.

Cooking With the Saints Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book by Ernst Scheugraf is such a fabulous presentation! The book is large and heavy -- the glossy pages are chock full of mouthwatering recipes with matching colorful photos of the dishes and beautiful graphics of the saints with small biographies of each saint. All the dishes are related to saints--with the criteria that each dish must contain the saint's name.
The presentation is just beautiful. The book rivals Martha Stewart's books!
All the recipes are written with regular and metric measurements, with easy to follow directions. The recipes range from appetizers to main dishes to dessert -- and all levels of experience can find useful recipes.
I study and probably own all the books on the Catholic liturgical year in the domestic church (home) and this book I can really say is unique and worthwhile addition to my collection.

A Continual Feast: A Cookbook to Celebrate the Joys of Family and Faith Throughout the Christian Year Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a really helpful cookbook, especially if you didn't come out of a liturgical tradition orginally.Evelyn Vitz has laid the book out in a calendar fashion for the most part, but has sections on days of fasting and abstinence and saints days.I really love her recipe for plum pudding and use it every year now.I had tried several other recipes before hers, but hers is definitely the best.We have also included a lot of her other suggestions in our family celebrations.This is a cookbook that I refer to frequently (especially during Advent, Christmas, Lent and Easter).
This book is great for any Christian family that wants to add a bit more traditional Christian emphasis to their lives.You don't have to be Catholic or Orthodox to enjoy it and use it.You may find yourself understanding Catholic and Orthodox traditions once you've read it, however.
This book passes on traditions that some families failed to get from Great Grandmother before she died.If you are from a Christian family, it will help you get in touch with your roots (as well as give you a lot of delicious recipes to try).

The Secrets of Jesuit Breadmaking Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When you ponder the history of breadmaking, just consider the continuous creativity derived from mixing flour and water.As author Brother Rick Curry, S.J., says, "I'm reminded of the simplicity...A little flour and water and some other wholeseome ingredients make an infinte number of breads".
"The Secrets of Jesuit Breadmaking" is a delightful collection of spiritual stories and easy to understand bread recipes.Building on the mystique of the Jesuit religious order, Brother Curry kneads the spirtual life and writings of the order's founder Saint Ignatius Loyola into the recipe collection.Indeed, this colection might be particularly interesting for those curious to know more about the Jesuits without having to read a long historical account.At first, I was leary of the large number bread recipes presented because my success with breadmaking was non-existent. I thought, "Why should I buy a book about breadmaking when I've never been able to get the dough to the first rise"? Nevertheless, I wanted to try Brother Curry's recipe for Irish Soda Bread, cooked without yeast, so I purchased the book.Of course, I could have simply copied the recipe without buying the book, but my religious side thoughtthis was being disingenuous. Now, I'm so glad I made the investment because reading the recipes is just as much fun as baking them.Many recipes do not require using yeast, a relief for my breakmaking anxiety.As I tired several different recipes, I became more confident to try at least one yeast recipe. Finally, voila, like a miracle, I actually make O'Brien's Oatmeal Bread!Obviously, I'm now a convert to Brother Curry's recipes and, of course, I intend to try several more recipes as my breakmaking skills are tested.I already have several handwritten notes in the margins of this book documenting my own experiences with the recipes. Thank you Brother Curry and and also to Brother John O'Brien, who was a "vigorous" teacher of Latin at Gonzaga Prep in Spokane Washington when Curry met him and learned his namesake Oatmeal Bread recipe. This is a good book for those needing to develop more faith in their breadmaking ability.If you are already an expert breadmaker, Curry's collection is likely to sharpen the spiritual side of your God given talents.
