From Saint Hildegard's Kitchen

Jany Fournier-Rosset

The 12th-century Benedictine Abbess Hildegard of Bingen was blessed with an astonishing array of talents. She was, among other things, a mystic, naturalist, visionary, and composer. Hildegard was also granted, by means of heavenly visions, in-depth knowledge about human nutrition. She believed "foods of joy" revitalized us and helped preserve good health in every sphere--physical, spiritual, and psychological.

Now, famed French chef Jany Fournier-Rosset has mined from Hildegard's writings a collection of tasty recipes--you'll find everything from simple jams to chestnut soufflé, from spiced wine to Tunisian ratatouille. The book contains a measurement conversion table, cooking terms, special bread-making instructions, lists of ingredients with definitions, sources for rare ingredients used in the recipes, and an index.

Readers will also find a brief biography of Hildegard and table graces from Saint Benedict and others.

With a focus on good health and vegetables and herbs from the garden, From Saint Hildegard's Kitchen makes a wonderful gift for the cooks in your life-including you!  - From the Publisher

Good Food for Life: Planning, Preparing, and Sharing

Maggie Davis

Good food--and all of its blessings--will make you whole.
"Maggie gave me the idea that food is something to be enjoyed,
a truly spiritual part of my life!" --Carol Showalter
Food can be one of the greatest blessings in life, and good food makes a life rich with what matters most. Take a journey with renowned nutritionist Maggie Davis, and discover how to change your relationship with food--and, in the process, transform your relationships with others.
Isn't it interesting that God has always used the practical things of our lives to teach us who we are? From the bountiful Garden of Eden to the Banquet Table we call heaven, and all of the miracles of Jesus with food: Everything in our lives--including food and eating--should be more enjoyable, sacred.
Maggie's book is designed to help you find simple ways to prepare, eat, and share good food for your whole life, one day at a time. Good Food for Life is more than menus and recipes to plan your daily intake at a particular calorie level. It is an entirely fresh approach to your relationship with food, from selecting and preparing to eating, sharing and presentation. With this innovative approach, you will look at food, your table, and yourself, differently!
