THE MONASTERY GARDEN COOKBOOK
Farm-Fresh Recipes for the Home Cook
Keeping simple, homegrown elegance at the center of his culinary approach, Brother Victor-Antoine d'Avila-Latourrette has delighted the world's palate and its soul through the success of his cookbooks. On the heels of 2010's The Pure Joy of Monastery Cooking (his first fully illustrated cookbook), Brother Victor revives one of his classics, Fresh from a Monastery Garden, originally published in 1998.
These 200 vegetarian recipes come direct from his kitchen at Our Lady of the Resurrection Monastery. They rely on the vibrancy of fresh flavors and aromas and stay true to Brother Victor's belief in being kind to the Earth. Dishes borrow the richness of his southern French culinary tradition and are arranged from A to Z -- from Artichokes to Zucchini.
Recipes include: St. Francis Lentils Gratin, Monastery-Style Cabbage Coleslaw, St. Gertrude Broccoli Salad, Sr. Placid's Cauliflower & Garlic Soup, St. Lawrence Corn Soup, Mother Stephen's Eggplant Rolls, St. Gregory's Fennel Casserole, Transfiguration Rice Pilaf, St. Joseph Okra Medley and Monastery Corn Relish.
The Monastery Garden Cookbook celebrates vegetables, offering a lifetime of deliciously healthy eating. Formerly published under the title Fresh from a Monastery Garden. Two-color interior; filled with delightful woodcut illustrations. Paperback, 256 pages.
