Sinossi

Food Traditions explores the deep connection between religion and food, revealing how faith shapes culinary practices worldwide. It examines how religious doctrines influence dietary laws, fasting, and the creation of ceremonial foods. For example, dietary rules in Judaism (Kashrut) and Islam (Halal) aren't mere restrictions but frameworks that foster communal identities. The book highlights the idea that food is more than sustenance; it's a powerful expression of faith and cultural identity.

 
The book progresses from defining key terms like "religious dietary law" and "ritual food" to exploring major world religions such as Christianity, Hinduism, and Buddhism. It analyzes their specific food customs, such as the Eucharist or Prasad, and their social and cultural implications.

 
By examining food practices across multiple religions, Food Traditions identifies common themes and unique variations, offering a broader understanding of how humans imbue food with spiritual meaning.

The Kindred Life - Stories and...

Christine Marie Bailey

Read by the author.
Even though technology makes us more "connected" than ever, we still hunger for authentic relationships--with the natural world, our creator, and one another. But how do we find them, especially when we’ve lost touch with many of the foundational rhythms that draw us together?
The Kindred Life is a rallying cry for real connection in a time when we need to recapture what's been lost. In this collection of stories, photos, and recipes from her home on Kindred Farm in Santa Fe, Tennessee, sustainable farmer Christine Bailey shares both the beautiful and gritty moments as she grew from a hopeful urban gardener to co-owner of a farm full of produce, bees, chickens, and flowers that provides meaningful experiences for friends, family, and hundreds of guests each year.
Kindred means "tribe" or "family," and at the center of The Kindred Life is an invitation to pursue the experiences that unite us, like spending time in the dirt, slowing down, and joining in a simple meal under the stars. We were all created with the ability to carve out a life of connection, and it's worth every bit of sweat it takes to get there. We can slow down. We can step forward in bravery to do hard things well. And we can be intentional about gathering with and investing in others.
Discover the beauty of community, the magic of coming together around the table, and the lessons the land can teach you as you unearth your very own Kindred Life--right where you are.
Recipes and reflection questions are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.
