A fascinating (and mouthwatering!) look at the wonderful food and
drink produced by monks and nuns in America, Belgium, France, and
Germany.
Part travel guide, part cookbook, "A Taste of Heaven" is a
delightful survey of the fine food and drink made by Catholic
religious orders in America, Belgium, France, and Germany. From
positively scrumptious beer and cheese to some of the richest
chocolate on earth, the treats presented in this book are heavenly
indeed, and author Madeline Scherb beautifully captures the heart
and spirit of the holy work that goes into producing them. With
vivid descriptions of the monasteries, their fascinating histories,
and helpful advice for travelers on getting there and getting the
most out of their visit, this book will serve as an invaluable
guide. "A Taste of Heaven" also contains more than thirty recipes
from notable chefs that incorporate the products found at these
monasteries, as well as a helpful guide to buying and ordering
these delectable ingredients if you are unable to travel to the
monasteries themselves. Recipes include such delights as:
Flamiche (a Belgian version of quiche that uses Postel cheese from
the Postel Abbey in Belgium) from chef and food columnist Sandy
DAmato
Brownies la Mode with Trappistine Caramel Sauce (uses caramel from
Our Lady of the Mississippi Abbey, Iowa)
Blackberry Cabernet Sorbet (made with Pinot Noir from St.
Hildegard Abbey near Rudesheim, Germany) from Ciao Bella Gelateria
in Grand Central Terminal, New York City
Featuring lovely original black-and-white illustrations that
perfectly capture the tranquil atmosphere of the monasteries, "A
Taste of Heaven" is a treasure for anyone who loves spirited food,
drink, and travel.
