A Letter to the Woman Looking Forward to Farmer’s Markets // Alexandra Greeley

Letters to Women - Exploring the Feminine Genius

For 2,000 years, Catholics have been at the heart of the culinary arts. Maybe this shouldn’t come as a surprise, considering the sacred feast of the Eucharist and how it gives life to our faith.

But, like so many other things in our lives today, our relationship with food has become compromised, cheapened, and robbed of its wholesomeness and purpose. And it’s so easy to lose the sacramental nature of eating and the sense of community that comes from a good meal.

In this episode, I’m sitting down with Alexandra Greeley. She’s a convert to Catholicism, a trained chef, and the author of a brand new book, Catholics in the Kitchen.

Alexandra and I are talking about sacramental eating, the beauty and diversity of the Catholic Church, and how much we’re looking forward to farmer’s markets this spring.

Whether you’re looking for new recipes to add to your meal rotation or you want to discover the connection between food, faith, and farms, sister, this letter is for you.

Topics we talked about in this episode:

• The lightning bolt moment that brought Alexandra home to the Catholic Church
• The inspiration behind Alexandra’s new book, Catholics in the Kitchen and what you’ll find when you open up the cover
• What putting together this book taught Alexandra about the universality of the Catholic Church
• How to rediscover the beauty of sacramental eating
• The ways that food creates opportunity for evangelization
• Practical ways we can support farmers and be reminded of the origin of food
