Cooking With the Saints

Looked through reviews for several similar cookbooks, landed on this one, and I'm quite happy with it. I like that along with individual saint days, it also includes monthly meals with detailed shopping lists, interesting background reading, and great instructions. We made the January meal with my inlaws and it came out great and was very delicious. It was a multi-hour endeavor, though, so not for the faint of heart!

This book is so fun. My husband and I really enjoy cooking the dishes together and we look forward to each saint day.We put the saint days with an emoji of the food on our Amazon Alexa 15. A day or two before the saint day, we make an Amazon Fresh order of all the ingredients, so it arrives at our doorstep without having to go to the grocery store.Then, we just get cooking!We are novice cooks, but so far the recipes have been doable. The information about the saint and the dishes have also helped deepen my faith, as well as introduce my husband (taking RCIA next year) to more of Catholicism.Overall, we highly recommend this book. The aesthetic, design and layout of the book is beautiful - possibly the best out there. I do wish there were dishes for holy days of obligation, as well as plain recipes for Lent, but maybe this is an opportunity for the writers to make a Liturgical Living cookbook? :)We will continue adding more photos as we make more dishes!7/24/2023 - Added more photos!

Got this for my dad for Christmas. He absolutely loved it. Learning about the Saints, while learning about their culture & cooking a new recipe. Highly recommend.

Really beautiful book, recipes, shopping lists, culture and stories about the saints.

I truly love this cookbook. For the most part, the recipes are easy to make. I love the fact that each month highlights a Saintly Meal that corresponds to one of the saints of each month, with an easy shopping list for all of the ingredients. I have enjoyed making the Saintly Meal for my family for 3 consecutive months now, and I can't wait to make all 12 meals! The cookbook also features beautiful, colorful photos of most of the recipes, the featured saints and facts and famous quotes of the saints! I LOVE this cookbook!

Very attractive book all around. Loved learning about the Saints/foods and nice pictures. Have tried most of the recipes and find them just so-so.

Simple to follow recipes, for both the skilled and beginner, with beautiful pictures throughout. The short biographies of the Saints are very interesting, while the recipes associated with them are delicious and well chosen. I had the privilege of participation in this particular apostolate at St Veronica in Chantilly, Virginia, and can say, as one who mastered burning water long ago, the novice can achieve great results. Every recipe in the book is tried and tested. The book is well made in hardback, with easily read print.It’s a great guide to wonderful eats for Feast Days and Holidays.My only criticism is considering where it will get its most use, it lacks a protective dust jacket.

Loved it so much I immediately order a second copy for a friend. Will be ordering another soon for another gift event. Well written, easy to read, great recipes from all over the world with background info.
