The Taste & See Cookbooks have been created to help American cooks prepare meals that conform to traditional Orthodox fasting guidelines while appealing to an American palate. Preparing meals during the fast should be as simple and stress-free as possible to allow ourselves more time for prayer, almsgiving and attending the services.

The newest cookbook, Taste & See II: More American Orthodox Cooking, was published in 2011.  It contains 500 ALL-NEW recipes.  The first 85% of the cookbook contains recipes that conform to traditional Orthodox fasting guidelines (fasting rules) – no meat, no dairy and no fish with a backbone.  Most Orthodox fasting recipes, especially the non-seafood ones, would also be considered vegan. The final two chapters of the book contain “feasting” recipes that have no food restrictions.
