• Flamiche (a Belgian version of quiche that uses Postel cheese from Postel Abbey in Mol, Belgium)
• Boneless Pork Loin Roast with New Skete Farms Smoked Bacon (made with bacon from New Skete Monastery near Cambridge, New York)
• Brother Victor's Pear Clafoutis (made with vanilla caramels from Our Lady of the Mississippi Abbey near Dubuque, Iowa)

With vivid descriptions of the monasteries, their fascinating histories, and helpful advice for travelers on getting there and getting the most out of their visit, this book also serves as an invaluable travel guide. A Taste of Heaven is a treasure for anyone who loves spirited food, drink, and travel.
