Customer Reviews

A cookbook to make you feel good.

This edition indeed has wonderful thoughts, prayers, and quotes. I bought this after visiting an aunt who owned a copy and made wonderful things from the recipes. However, it's incredibly relaxing to read as just a book too! A beautiful window into a simpler time.

more than a cookbook

From a Monastery Kitchen is a cookbook, sure. And it has excellent, practical and simple recipes that I have used again and again. But it is far more than a cookbook. Surrounding each recipe are the most wonderful prayers, quotes, pictures, stories, etc. They are by turns inspiring, thought-provoking and heart-warming. I really can't recommend this book highly enough. Please Note: I have been told that the newer edition has far, far fewer of the surrounding text and pictures, so make sure it is the older edition you get if that is what you are interested in.
