Poems honoring the memory of meals shared with loved ones, imagined feasts, odes to vegetables... In her latest collection Food for Thought, Joyce Holmes McAllister pays homage to all things culinary, from the humble turnip to the dangers of garlic, from thoughtful cows to fed-up chickens, from reluctant little neck clams to the truth about caviar. This poet ranges widely in space and time, conjuring memories from the farm kitchen of her youth, meditating on the cooking of Alice B. Toklas, recalling a dear friend's penchant for Hebrew National hot dogs, remembering the tradition of cocktail hour, and mourning the loss of her husband and dining companion of 40 years. Whether playful and light hearted or haunted by absence, these poems reflect the wisdom of a life fully lived, meals fully savored. At times bittersweet, always creative, McAllister's work is permeated by her lifelong passion for gastronomy and poetry. Fellow poet and friend Mary Beth O'Connor has provided whimsical color illustrations for several of the poems.

Joyce Holmes McAllister's first chapbook Before We Knewwas published by Foothills Press in 2016; the second, Return (Yellow Sofa Press), appeared about a year later. This is her first full-length collection.

Daily tasks in a wonderfully sacred light!
Wow! This is a wonderful way to remember that every moment is holy and should be honored. Well written! The illustrations are so good. I only wish there were twenty volumes instead of just 3!

An aid to the Bible to walk out Gods will for your life.
What a great book and addition to the volume series. When I first received my first volume some 2 years ago from my daughter and her pastor husband I thought it would just be another good self help book. Little did I know how God would use this series in every aspect, action and event of my life and how every moment and thought is a given chance by God to honor, worship and bring praise to the glory of His grace. Other than the Bible, I recommend above all other books to make it the guide and manual of how you walk out the Christian life in light of β€œEvery Moment being Holy.”

Must have resource for Christians.
Format: Imitation Leather
Getting the kindle version of this book was such a good choice! It’s nice to have it on my phone so that I can take screenshots and share prayers with friends. This collection is so wonderful and I’m really thankful that the rabbit room continues to produce more volumes.

Great to give as gifts
While I have enjoyed this book myself I think it's most valuable as a gift. I keep several on hand and give them out to friends when we meet up and it goes over really well.
