Heavenly Feasts: Memorable Meals from Monasteries, Abbeys, and Retreats (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781440159053)

While people often think of monks subsisting on a diet of bread, water, and thin gruel, the reality today is very different. While researching their Sanctuaries guides, Marcia Kelly and her husband Jack, visited more than 250 monasteries, abbeys and retreat centers in the United States, and discovered much delicious food from these monastery kitchens. This book features thirty-nine celestial menus including breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and many, can we say sinful, desserts. Begin the day indulgently, with cheese grits and sour cream-cinnamon coffee cake, and end with a monks meal of corn chowder and homemade bread, fresh from the oven.
