Part travelogue, part guidebook, part cookbook, part history, A Taste of Heaven is a fascinating read. The author writes about her pilgrimage to sample the foods made by monks and nuns in contemplative monasteries.
Each chapter explores one type of food (beer and wine, cheese, sweets and other delectables). There are insights by food experts and profiles of various monastic communities and the foods they make. It was enlightening to read about the abbeys in Amity, Oregon (fudge and truffles) and Lafayette, Oregon (fruitcake) where I have visited (and whose fudge and fruitcake I eat when I can). The author also gives contact information for the communities if you'd like to stay there, where you can buy their foods in the USA, ideas on hikes near the communities and what monastery-made foods to take for a picnic.
After you read this book you will understand more about monks, monastic communities and their lives of prayer. Contemplative monks and nuns live to pray. They work to support their lives of prayer, to be self-sufficient and as a way of using God's creation to share God's love with those who partake of what they make. And you will know much more about monastery-made beer, ale, wine, cheese and fruitcake. Like me, you might go searching for these foods in your local stores.

"A Taste of Heaven: A Guide to Food and Drink Made by Monks and Nuns" Overview
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 D'Amato
* Brownies à 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.
