A Taste of Heaven - A Guide to Food and Drink Made by Monks and Nuns
by Madeline Scherb
240 pp. paperback
This book, not really a spiritual book, is part travel guide, part cookbook. A Taste of Heaven is a delightful survey of the fine food and drink made by Catholic religious orders in America, Belgium, France and Germany. From positively scrumptious cheese to some of the richest chocolate on earth, the treats presented in this book are heavenly indeed, and author Madeline Scherb beautifully captures the heart and spirit of the holy work that goes into producing them. With vivid descriptions of the monasteries, their fascinating histories, and helpful advice for travelers on getting there and getting the most out of their visit, this book will serve as an invaluable guide. A Taste of Heaven also contains more than thirty recipes from notable chefs that incorporate the products found at these monasteries, as well as a helpful guide to buying and ordering these delectable ingredients if you are unable to travel to the monasteries themselves. Recipes include brownies, sauces and candies.
Featuring lovely original black-and-white illustrations that perfectly capture the tranquil atmosphere of the monasteries, A Taste of Heaven is a treasure for anyone who loves spirited food, drink and travel.
