DR. SCOTT HAHN is a well-known American Catholic theologian and Christian apologist, a former Presbyterian who converted to Catholicism, and the Fr. Michael Scanlan Professor of Biblical Theology and the New Evangelization at the Franciscan University of Steubenville. His popular works include Rome Sweet Home and The Lamb's Supper: The Mass as Heaven on Earth. 

Dr. Hahn is also the co-author of the newly published Lenten Cookbook with DAVID GEISSER. From breads to stews to omelets and desserts, award-winning chef and former Vatican Swiss Guard GEISSER, in The Lenten Cookbook, brings 75 new international recipes that were specially conceived for the penitential season of Lent. From delicious soups and salads to zesty curries and classic Lenten staples, Chef Geisser offers here a uniquely Catholic way of celebrating the Lenten season in your home each year.


Much more than a cookbook, this first-ever guidebook for mealtimes in Lent features essays from DR. HAHN, who reflects on the history of fasting and its integral role in our personal spiritual growth. Hahn guides you on how to practice a holy Lent that will enable you to return your focus to Christ, and how to carry the unique and extraordinary joys of Lent forward into the rest of the year. You’ll also learn of forgotten Catholic traditions and timeless customs, such as St. Martin’s Lent, Ember Days, and Rogation Days and how you can apply these time-honored periods of grace to your spiritual life today.

Here’s a culinary masterpiece that is a must-have for any Catholic and an ideal gift for a loved one’s kitchen or coffee table. It also includes:

  • Scores of meatless dishes that are both simple and savory
  • Nearly 50 pages of exclusive content from Scott Hahn on the Lenten season
  • Over a dozen meals ideally suited for those pursuing a rigorous Lent
  • Several variations on the traditional Lenten hot-cross bun recipe
  • Inspiring Scripture verses and quotes from the saints to keep you on track this Lent.
