Feasting, Fasting and Everything in Between

Finally, after seventeen years, a second cookbook of our Sisterhood Cookbook is ready in ebook form. Our first endeavor published in 2000 was called Meatless Delights of the Land and Sea and concentrated on fasting recipes which could help struggling Orthodox Christians be faithful to the lenten guidelines prescribed by the Church. After much deliberation and in response to frequent suggestions from our faithful customers at our yearly “Greek Food Fest” in 2015, we presented our Fasting, Feasting and Everything in Between cookbook incorporating many recipes from our first cookbook as well as additional non-fasting recipes provided by parishioners and friends alike.


We are a small close knit Traditional Orthodox Parish in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, which is blessed and supported by a dedicated Sisterhood under the patronage of Saints Basil the Great and Irene of Chrysovalantou. They labor for the upkeep and adornment of our beautiful temple through the culinary labors of their hands and bring a wealth of experience to the task. Within the scope of their experience we have accumulated delicious delicacies from the Greek, Slavic and Arabic traditions as well as from down home American favorites.


It is our hope that you will enjoy making and enjoying the great and tasty meals and treats which have delighted our parishioners at parish gatherings as well as our offerings to the public during our fund-raisers.


We wish to thank all who have labored in the preparation of this cookbook as well as all our valued customers from our local communities and those who purchase our cookbook now in ebook format. Ultimately it all goes to supporting the Orthodox witness of this parish community and to the glorification of the Holy Trinity our God.


Glory to God for all things!
