Bless This Food: Ancient & Contemporary Graces from Around the World by Adrian Butash

Bless This Food collects Adrian Butash’s selection of historical and contemporary graces for meals. The prayers approach gratitude for food through voices and traditions from around the world.

Background information accompanies the blessings, offering context as well as words that readers may choose to bring to a shared table. This is a collection of prayers and thanksgiving readings, not a cookbook, diet plan or claim that every society observes the same ritual.
