Lawler Publisher, Like Mother, Like Daughter "My priestly philosophy for pastoral service has centered on the power of food, not just in the process of creating recipes, but in tapping into the power of food to do good! In this book, Cooking with the Saints, we see this philosophy come to life! We realize that eating the right food and sharing the meal with the right company, can truly make us Saints! May this book help us hunger for that heavenly meal!"Fr. Leo E. Patalinghug TV & Radio Host, Author, Speaker, Founder of Plating Grace & The Table Foundation "I remember wonderful Sunday gatherings around the dining room table sharing delicious food, faith and family love. As children, we looked forward to certain feasts with their special foods, like St. Joseph's Day Zeppole and Saint Anthony's Bread. Now we have Cooking with Saints, which helps us celebrate many days of the Church year with distinctive foods and exceptional reflections from our rich Catholic heritage."Bishop Dominick Lagonegro Retired Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of New York "The Catholic Faith has feasts and fasts. Personally, I like the feasts a lot more. Because food affects us so deeply, feasting becomes almost a duty in a Catholic life. Nice, right? Cooking with the Saints helps us live out those feasts by connecting us with centuries of Catholic tradition
