Monastic food is simple but good and now the nuns of the Orthodox Monastery of the Transfiguration, Ellwood CIty, bring us a share of this approach to cooking with their new cookbook full of simple, nutritious but tasty receipes.

“We hope this book not only kindles new ideas for meal planning but also enkindles you hearts to look to Him who gives food in due season.  So that when we eat or drink, we do all for the glory of God.” Mother Christophora, Abbess

“O taste and see how good the Lord is!”
