Tis The Season To Be Baking

Father Dominic Garramone, acclaimed author and host of Breaking Bread with Father Dominic, weaves together holiday reflections and recipes in Tis the Season to Be Baking: Christmas Reflections and Bread Recipes. In this new collection, Father Dominic relates nearly two-dozen holiday baking traditions to scripture and shows that holiday preparations can seem less like drudgery if we can see the purpose behind them. Did you know that the French meal fougasse represents the genealogy of Jesus, or that two very different Christmas breads-the traditional German stollen and the more recent Saint Bede tradition of "Bambino Bread"-represent the Christ Child in swaddling cloths? Tis the Season to Be Baking imparts such wisdom as it takes bakers, holiday traditionalists, and Father Dominic fans beyond bread yet again.
