“What struck me most during my stay at the Abbey was the care given to preparing and sharing meals. The cooking sessions were not simply about recipes or techniques; they felt like a kind of quiet liturgy of the kitchen. Each step — selecting ingredients from the garden, preparing them patiently, cooking together — had its own rhythm and meaning. The meals themselves became moments of gratitude and conversation. I left with practical culinary skills, but also with a new understanding of how cooking can nourish both body and community.”
