Synopsis

God is everywhere—including the kitchen! Just ask Fr. Dominic Grassi, ardent gourmand, amateur chef, and full-time pastor on Chicago's North Side. Fr. Grassi has long been stirred by the combination of good food and good stories, and Bumping into God in the Kitchen showcases his literary and culinary talents through 50 poignant, funny, inspiring, and at times educational stories.Each of these personal stories in some fashion reminds us that God is everywhere that food can be found. And since Grassi knows that reading about food makes a person hungry, he has also served up his favorite recipes throughout the book. Fr. Grassi's cuisine? Italian, of course!

About this title

From the Back Cover:

You’re invited to the table

Not every author can tastefully combine topics like God’s unconditional love and tomato sauce, but Fr. Dominic Grassi has managed to do so with aplomb. All of his literary, culinary, and pastoral talents are on display in this collection of entertaining and inspiring stories centered on food and the gifts of God’s amazing grace. 
Within these pages, Grassi shares special memories of hot fudge sundaes, homemade pizza, chickpeas, Italian wedding soup, and many other dishes—always reminding the reader of the precious gift we receive when we share food in fellowship. Knowing that reading about food can make a person hungry, Grassi also serves up sixteen of his favorite recipes, from antipasto to dessert. The cuisine? Italian, of course. “After all,” Grassi proudly writes, “it was an Italian who invented the fork.”
