From breads, salads, and curries to stews, omelets, and desserts, as well as classic Lenten staples, award-winning chef and former Vatican Swiss Guard David Geisser returns with 75 new international recipes developed for the season of Lent. Enjoy sweet and savory meatless dishes, meals created for pursuing a rigorous Lent, and variations on the traditional hot-cross bun recipe. Much more than a cookbook, this guidebook for mealtimes in Lent features essays from biblical scholar Scott Hahn, who reflects on the history of fasting and its integral role in our personal spiritual growth. Hahn guides you on how to practice a holy Lent that will enable you to return your focus to Christ, and how to carry the unique and extraordinary joys of Lent forward into the rest of the year. You’ll also learn of forgotten Catholic traditions and timeless customs, such as St. Martin’s Lent, Ember Days, and Rogation Days and how you can apply these time-honored periods of grace to your spiritual life today. 224 pages, hardcover.
