The Catholic Home: Celebrations and Traditions for Holidays, Feast Days, and Every Day15 reviews
Meredith Gould

Doubleday, 2004

Great Handbook for families
I love this book! I grew up in a Catholic family and in Catholic schools. However, that did not prepare me for passing along Catholic traditions to my own children and to my converted husband. The fear of offending anyone(especially my non-Catholic relatives) made me a little hesitant to "let religious identity permeate our home". Gould's book encourages and instructs on how to do so. She has ...
  
  











  



  
Mornings With Fulton Sheen: 120 Holy Hour Readings22 reviews
Beverly Coney Heirich

Servant Publications, 2000

Meditation for Christians
What an amazing book! I'm a Christian who has used Transcendental Meditation (TM) and practiced Yoga, but I had never heard of "the ancient and powerful practice of Christian meditation." Of course I knew monks meditate, but this book encourages purely Christian meditation for all Christians, and explains why the difference between Eastern techniques and Christian meditation (which Fulton Sheen ...

Esther Blau, Tzirrel Deitsch, ...

Lubavitch Women's Cookbook, 1997

My personal favorite
I love cookbooks, to read and look through. This one is the best. It has all the basic recipes and loads of information abouth jewish life and general cooking. When I am looking for a good basic recipe I know it will be here. I have given this as a shower gift many times. There are many cookbooks out there with more updated recipes and pictures (this book has no pictures) but when I need ...
  
  











  



  
The Great Redwall Feast20 reviews
Brian Jacques

Perfection Learning Prebound, 2000

flawless illustrations and a loooong poem
Fabulous illustrations occupy most of the page in this 64-page poem of 101 six-lined stanzas with an AACBBC rhyming scheme. The story incorporates many of the series' favorite characters, including Matthias and Cornflower, and depicts not only the preparations of a wonderful Redwall feast by hares and mice and otters, but includes a riddle as well. This book is really beautiful and should be ...

Beautifully done, beautifully written!
This book is one of my absolute favorites! Not only is the information within EXTREMELY well written, there are many photographs and the artwork is among the best I've ever seen. There are overviews of the Spring Feasts and the Fall Feasts and an explanation of Jewish Time, broken down into the Jewish Day,Week and Month. There are chapters on The Feasts Of Leviticus 23 (the 7 feasts) as well ...

Fix, Freeze, Feast: More than 125 recipes to prepare in bulk and by the serving24 reviews
Kati Neville, Lindsay Tkacsik

Storey Publishing, LLC, 2007

The best freezer meal cookbook
This is my first book review. I know it probably sounds like the authors paid me to write this because the review is so glowing! After much research of Amazon book reviews, I bought "Fix Freeze Feast" because it eemed like the best freezer meal cookbook out there. "Don't Panic...Dinner's in the Freezer" would probably come in second place, but reviewers have slammed it for using too many ...
  
  











  



  
A Treasury of Jewish Holiday Baking22 reviews
Marcy Goldman

Broadway, 1998

BUY THIS BOOK!!!
This is by far, the best book on the planet. I have made each and every recipe. I can't decide which is my favorite because they all are that good! I made several of the Passover recipes as gifts and received rave reviews. Folks couldn't believe that Passover Sweets could taste this good. Thank you Marcy Goldman...
  
  











  



  
Ajanta: Regional Feasts of India15 reviews
Lachu Moorjani

Gibbs Smith, Publisher, 2005

Never disappointing!
I bought this book after stumbling into the Ajanta restaurant in Berkeley. My friend and I were incredibly hungry and were craving Indian food- and Ajanta was the only restaurant left open on the top part of Solano Avenue. I am soooo glad I accidently stumbled into that restaurant! That night they were having a party for Lachu Moorjani, who had just put out his cook book. I remembered really ...
  
  











  



  
The Georgian Feast: The Vibrant Culture and Savory Food of the Republic of Georgia18 reviews
Darra Goldstein

Harpercollins, 1993

One of my favorites!
As someone who was born and grew up in Tbilisi, I was very happy to find this book -- it captures all of my favorite recipes, and when I prepare them according to this book, they taste just like my grandma's cooking. More than just a recipe book, this is also an exploration into the rich history and culture of Georgia, and how the history shaped the cuisine. I suggest this book to everyone ...
  
  











  



  
Phantom Feast9 reviews
Diana Barron

Spectral Visions, 2001

Watch out! It slips into your dreams.....
Sometimes we make mistakes in life and we make it a point not to repeat them. My mistake was reading this book in bed just before I put out the lights. I won't do that again with Phantom Feast or any other book this great author writes. I felt empathy for the main character. I felt her fear and I felt the fear of the town. When a character tries to get away from horror only to find herself in ...
  
  











  



  
Siren's Feast, An Edible Odyssey9 reviews
Nancy Mehagian

Cielo Press, 2008

An astounding memoir about food and travel and incredible experiences
Siren's Feast is the first memoir I have ever read and I just loved being taken on such an exotic, sometimes mildly erotic, and - above all - sensual journey. It certainly is a 'feast' of scintillating and exciting adventures, all charted with some of the best and easy-to-assemble recipes I have come across (and I cook A LOT!) As a child born in the sixties, I was still young as the hippy ...

40 Day Mind Fast Soul Feast14 reviews
Michael Bernard Beckwith

DeVorss & Company, 2000

A little book of HUGE inspiration!
Michael Beckwith has created a MUST HAVE book of spiritual inspiration and practice. These daily meditations are an absolute feast for the soul. Deceptively simple, this small book is filled with big ideas that, when put into daily practice, are PROFOUNDLY transformational. I have given this book to a number of people and I quote from it often. Beckwith is masterful in his use of language and ...
  
  











  



  
Full Moon Feast: Food and the Hunger for Connection12 reviews
Jessica Prentice

Chelsea Green, 2006

Relating to One's Food
This book is a personal re-examination of food--what we eat, and why we eat it. In this book, Prentice examines food customs and traditions, searching for their physiological and environmental rationale. Her primary observation about food traditions is that they are strictly tied to the seasons, and thus the continual year-round availability of our foodstuffs has resulted in loss of much ...
  
  











  



  
Alphabet Soup: A Feast of Letters11 reviews
Scott Gustafson

Contemporary Books, 1990

A requested favorite over and over
I first checked out this book from our library and it has proven to be one of our best book selections ever. Our 3 year-old son has requested it every single night since we brought it home and he loves studying the illustrations. He is especially amused at the jaguar making a jam sandwhich at the end of the story. I often find him looking at this book on his own. It has truly sparked his ...

The Bad Catholic's Guide to Wine, Whiskey, & Song: A Spirited Look at Catholic Life & Lore from the ...8 reviews
John Zmirak, Denise Matychowiak

The Crossroad Publishing Company, 2007

My perfect book.
My perfect book finally sees print. This has it all: booze making monks, good food, good music, excellent history, harmless fun, politically incorrect ideologue smashing humour, and (mostly) orthodox Catholicism. One of the most underrated books of all time, and the exact gift to give to joyless Puritans or the frozen-chosen. And presents the best case ever I've seen for FEAST DAYS being ...

A wonderful sequel to The Voluptuous Vegan
I highly recommend The Healthy Hedonist, by Myra Kornfeld, to beginner cooks and accomplished chefs, alike. For the beginners, Myra has a knack for clearly explaining key cooking techniques and tips on what to look for when buying certain ingredients. For the accomplished chefs, the flavor and texture combinations in Myra's recipes will help you expand your repertoire of unusual and interesting ...
  
  











  



  
Murder at the Feast of Rejoicing12 reviews
Lynda S. Robinson

Ballantine Books, 1995

Typical Family
Lord Meren is sent home to rest but his sister arranges a family reunion instead. How many of these characters actually come from your own extended family? I recognized the majority from mine . This really makes Lord Meren into a human being rather than an historical personage. The series gets better with each book as I read them.
