To make up for the lack of knowledge about these most important components of the life of a believer, as well as to choose the corresponding festive or lean dish for each day of the church year, the calendar "on posts and holidays". In it you will find both recipes for forgotten old foods and dishes that have entered the Orthodox tradition relatively recently. You will learn about some culinary secrets and interesting information from the history of Russian cuisine, the traditions of the Orthodox memorial meal, as well as what spicy plants are mentioned in the Bible. Original recipes of homework will help to diversify the lean table. However, care for pressing bread should not obscure spiritual searches.
