Dear Fr Seraphim, bless.

Thank you for your kind reply. I am sorry I haven't responded earlier, but I have been busy with beginning-of-term "excitements". To have been a cook at a monastery on Mount Athos must have been a great blessing. I wonder if you could briefly discuss some of the principles behind the preparation of monastic food, including some of the prayers and blessings used (especially any that could be properly used by laymen), and perhaps an example of one or two common "recipes". I remember, for example often having a simple dish with fish and vegetables, which tasted extremely healthy.
