The Moriah Pie Cookbook

For eight years, Moriah Pie was a pay-as-you-can neighborhood restaurant that served pizza, desserts, and sides showcasing the fruits and vegetables grown in the rust belt soils of West Norwood, Ohio. With a menu limited exclusively to what could be grown or gathered from a patchwork of gardens in neighbors' backyards, empty lots, and city parks, Moriah Pie welcomed both patrons and workers to taste and see the abundance of God's loving provision through the unlikely harvest of this urban parish. Through story-telling and recipes that encourage the cook to discover the gifts at hand, The Moriah Pie Cookbook serves as both a practical kitchen companion and rooted theological reflection. Moriah Pie regulars and newcomers alike are invited to deepen their relationship to the land, their neighbors and, ultimately, the Incarnate God. This book is for anyone seeking an embodied, theologically-integrative life in their own context, offering the reader a life-giving expression of faith in a tumultuous time.
