A happy kitchen is a place of love, connection, joy, and creativity. Children can learn so much while connecting deeply with their parents. 

But as great as a happy kitchen can be, it is often complicated to get children involved. Recipes must be safe enough and simple enough and capable of holding the attention span of a child.  

Liguori Publications’ new cookbook, Saintly Bites, is a great way to get children involved in the kitchen and connect more deeply with the Catholic faith. With over 65 recipes that connect back to saints like St. Patrick, St. Frances de Sales, and St. Augustine, this book will equip families to connect more deeply with each other and with Christ’s Church. Memories like these will last a lifetime.

Author Shelby Siegfried, Catholic writer and mother of four, understands the intricate balance of nurturing body and soul amidst the challenges of everyday life. Her cookbook invites families to gather in the kitchen to prepare delicious meals together while exploring the extraordinary lives of the saints. Learn about Saint Teresa of Calcutta's boundless compassion as you enjoy a sip of Ginger Switchel or bake a loaf of Humble Sandwich Bread while reflecting on the selflessness of Saint Elizabeth of Hungary. 

This book is a great gift for Catholic families with young chefs. Children will enjoy creating yummy treats while learning about the saints and spending time with family. 

Saintly Bites is also a useful guide for Catholic educators and parish communities that wish to nurture the spiritual growth of young hearts and minds with an enjoyable, hands-on approach. 

The book features more than 65 recipes with ideas for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, drinks, sweet treats, and baked goods. 

Saintly Bites For Children will be available on 1 October 2025. Prepublication orders are now being accepted.

In a new 64-page deluxe pamphlet from Liguori Publications, author Leo-Martin Angelo R. Ocampo, OP, finds common ground by combining the Ignatian method of contemplation with the daily praying of the rosary.

Using the words of St. Alphonsus, this 32-page, deluxe pamphlet provides guidance to praying in the presence of Christ’s body and blood. God calls us to turn to him in times of need or when we seek comfort. He is in our hearts and available through the sacrifice of the Mass and for adoration.
