This week marks the 95th birthday of the late Episcopal priest, chef, and author, Robert Farrar Capon. In honor of the occasion, we offer this introductory reading guide to some of the best Robert Farrar Capon books.
5. Food for Thought: Resurrecting the Art of Eating
Robert Farrar Capon’s Food For Thought: Resurrecting the Art of Eating is another work which refuses to expurgate religion from daily concerns. Near the beginning of this combination cookbook and handbook for spiritual renewal, Capon asks: “Is resurrection an odd category in a cookbook? Not really. One of the things Jesus did after the first Easter was whip up a breakfast of broiled fish.” Sound a bit flip? It might seem that way to those not familiar with Capon’s inimitable habit of relating Biblical and theological material to everyday activities. But he is very serious:
“This book is about renewal. And though it deals with what are commonly thought of as the lesser things of life, there is no way of touching even them without being dragged all the way to death and resurrection.”
