From a passionate and talented chef who also happens to be an Episcopalian
priest comes this surprising and thought-provoking treatise on everything from
prayer to poetry to puff pastry. In The Supper of the Lamb, Capon talks about
festal and ferial cooking, emerging as an inspirational voice extolling the
benefits and wonders of old-fashioned home cooking in a world of fast food and
prepackaged cuisine. This edition includes the original recipes and a new
Introduction by Deborah Madison, the founder of Greens Restaurant in San
Francisco and author of several cookbooks.
