Have you ever wondered what life behind convent walls was like? Mary Ann Quinn offers insights as she recounts her experiences as Sister Sean Maureen, a cook Sister in the Notre Dame community. Along with colorful stories of her escapades in different convents, she explains terms and customs such as the grand silence and the celebration of the feast of St. Nicholas. The wit and humor in these pages are like the icing on the cake. After Quinn’s memoir, she serves up a collection of recipes gleaned from her years in foodservice. The majority of the recipes are straight from the kitchens of the Notre Dames, a community with German roots. Cooking My Way to Heaven makes a delicious read for cooks and non-cooks alike. Anyone associated with Roman Catholic Sisters will especially enjoy this book.
