Editorial Reviews
▼▲"Vitz celebrates the convergence of many ideas in the Christian tradition, from stories of the saints and the foods associated with their feast days, to lore on how Judeo-Christian traditions came about, to anecdotes on food names. The text provides fascinating reading, thanks to the author's light, conversational style and and excellent selection of recipes...."
Booklist
"Food from many countries to celebrate all the important days of the Christian year. Vitz is an excellent discriminating cook who writes with intelligence, good humor, and a loving heart."
Library Journal
"A cookbook that is quite unlike anything I've ever seen before. It is a celebration of food in the Christian tradition, especially as it relates to the family. With its nearly 300 recipes, wonderful drawings and thoughtful text, A Continual Feast will make a splendid Christmas gift for family people on your list."
The National Catholic Register
A Continual Feast has something for everyone. She provides recipes for the adventurous cook, for a baptism, foods of the Bible, and even tips on how to involve children in baking. An unpretentious, accessible Christian cookbook that will reward anyone eager to put the family back where it belongs."
