Order New Taste & See Cookbook in Time for Christmas

It's fasting and gift-giving season.  Sounds like the perfect time for a new Orthodox fasting & feasting cookbook!  Now is the perfect time to order your new cookbook. It's not too late to give this as Christmas presents this year, but order soon! 

Taste & See II: More American Orthodox Cooking is a sequel to the much loved Taste & See Cookbook published in 1999.  With the help of 150 contributors at 63 parishes in 27 states across America, this ALL-NEW cookbook has been published by the Women of St. Elizabeth Orthodox Church in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.

The Taste & See Cookbooks have been created to help American cooks prepare meals that conform to traditional Orthodox fasting guidelines while appealing to an American palate. Preparing meals during the fast should be as simple and stress-free as possible to allow ourselves more time for prayer, almsgiving and attending the services.

The first Taste & See Cookbook was published in 1999 by the Women of St. Ignatius in Franklin, Tennessee, and touched countless lives.

This edition carries on with the tradition of the first one with 500 ALL-NEW RECIPES.  The proceeds from this cookbo ok will go to the Antiochian Women's charity efforts and the St. Elizabeth Orthodox Church building fund (we're currently in rented facilities).  

This book contains almost 50% MORE recipes than the first one.  The first 85% of the cookbook contains fasting recipes, with the remaining book featuring Our Best Feasting Recipes.
