Much more than a cookbook...COME TO THE TABLE

By Mary Dayle for The Delta Democrat Times, May 5, 2009

Is the lavishly illustrated "Come to the Table" an inspired compendium of tempting dishes or a sophisticated inspirational collection with recipes? According to Benita Long, head of the five-member collaboration creating this unique volume, it’s all that and more.

"We are invited and called to celebrate, every day, the munificent, temporal gifts of God," writes Long in the introduction. "How we receive it and offer it to others is important to God." Hospitality can even be a powerful evangelical tool. After all, Jesus of Nazareth’s first public miracle was at a wedding feast.

"Come to the Table" promises no miracles. Neither does it pontificate. Rather, this vivid collection of food, images, thoughts and mealtime prayers gently reminds anyone who eats "that more important than what is served is the grace with which it is prepared and offered."

With readily available ingredients, innovative yet simple instructions and stunning photographs, " Come to the Table" looks like a $45.00 book. At $35.00 it would be a bargain; at the suggested price of only $25.00, it seems a steal.

Offer one of the suggested graces and enjoy a family feast from  "Come to the Table" recipes. By the time the Chocolate Toffee Ice Cream Pie (page 132) is served, the gathering will echo the quoted words of John Donne, "May God be praised that all things be so good."

Build houses and dwell in them;
plant gardens and eat their fruit.

                                          (Jeremiah 29:5)

MINTED FRUIT (pg. 37)

What animal portrait photographer Rachel Hale did for canine portraiture in 101 Adorable Breed Dogs ($24.99), she's now done for cats in a companion volume, The Cat's Pajamas ($24.99). Both are irresistible.
