Bless This Food is a unique cookbook that combines wonderful menus
and recipes with table prayers, food customs, and religious and
cultural traditions. The menus are for a wide variety of
occasions—traditional national holidays, family gatherings,
religious celebrations, ethnic festivals, life passages, and
get-togethers with friends. Organized by seasons, Bless This Food
is eclectic in its choice of cuisines—from French, Italian,
English, American, Jewish, and Irish to Native American, African
American, and Hispanic. The occasions celebrated are also eclectic
and culturally diverse, celebrating the many traditions from which
America’s citizens have originated. The main religious
celebrations of the Christian and Jewish traditions are included.
The authors’ own interests are reflected in their choices of such
occasions as Sir Winston Churchill’s Birthday Breakfast, Claude
Monet’s Birthday, A Jane Austen Holiday Lunch with Friends,
Robert Burns Night, and Blessings in Deed, in which a meal is
prepared for another person or family. Beautifully and elegantly
designed, and illustrated with sketches by Tonya Young, Bless This
Food acknowledges the sacred nature of the everyday pleasures of
food and table.
