It’s been four long years since I’ve written a book and Bible study project. But this project has been 10, yes, t-e-n years in the making.
A decade ago, I penned a book and study called Scouting the Divine: My Search for God in Wine, Wool, and Wild Honey. I spent time with shepherds, farmers, vintners, and beekeepers, and opened up the Bible and asked, “How do you read these passages, not as theologians, but in light of what you do everyday?”
Their answers changed the way I read the Bible forever.
I was undone by the discoveries—and to this day, familiar scripture is so much more vibrant and connective.
As soon as that project released, a series of people approached me, asking, “Why didn’t you spend time with an olive grower?”
Oof—that would have been amazing. One day, I’ll do that! I thought.
I’ve been waiting for the day. For almost a decade. Now the time has come.
Over the course of the last year, I’ve been on a spiritual quest to examine the Scripture with a keen interest in food.
Turns out, if you start with the Genesis 1 and read through Revelation, you’ll discover food pops and sizzles on almost every page.
To better understand the rich food imagery and symbolism, I:
*Traveled to Israel to cast nets on the Sea of Galilee
*Descended 410 feet into a salt mine
*Baked matzo with an expert on ancient grains at Yale University
*Brought in an olive harvest on a remote island in Croatia
*Graduated from a Steakology 101 course with a Texas butcher
*Plucked fruit from a premier California fig farm
Again, with each person, I asked how do you read the Scriptures in light of what you do everyday?
Their answers revolutionized the way I read the Bible and whet my appetite for a more nourishing, fruitful and satisfying life with God.
This summer I traveled to Grand Rapids, Michigan, to film the 6-session Bible study. It was a dream come true.
Each session opens with a recipe in the kitchen—and some are even taught with my husband, Leif, who is the best cook in our home. (And I’m grateful).
Then we dive into the Bible using one of the ingredients from the recipe. Um, the gluten free dark chocolate chip cookies are all things amazingness—and yes, the recipe is included.
Through this book and Bible study, you’ll discover:
+What Jesus really meant when he said, “You are the salt of the earth.”
+ How you were uniquely created to help others flourish.
+ Tools to overcome awkwardness and nurture deeper connections around any table.
+ God’s perspective on fruitfulness and how to increase the yield in your life.
+ How to rise above uncertainty knowing what’s divinely planted to carry you through.
+ What Jesus intended when he said, “I am the bread of the of life.”
And so much more.
It’s at the table where we learn to taste and see the goodness of God. It’s at the table where the love of God is made edible. And there’s a place set just for you.

Hi, I am doing the study! It’s awesome so far. Is there any way we can just order the apron? I am a big foodie and love aprons and this one is so pretty and represents the study so well.
Thank you!
Absolutely! Just pop on over to my online store and you’ll find it there! (Click “shop” in the menu bar at the top of the page)
Dearest Margaret,
I received “Taste & See” 2 weeks ago as a Christmas gift from a girlfriend. I finished it yesterday! It was absolutely one of the BEST books I’ve ever read! I own & operate a tea room, so food is my passion. I just ordered study book materials and the tea towels to do a home study with my granddaughters. We will start after the holidays. They are all homeschooled, so this will work into their schedules perfectly. I’m so excited about it. Thank you for all the research, and following God’s calling to do this. Just reading the book has changed my life and doing the study will deepen it more. I also ordered your 52 week devotional book…I’m so thankful for you! God Bless you as you bless others through your passionate desires to follow God’s calling. I am praying for you everyday. Merry Christmas and God Bless your life in 2021.
Your Sister in Christ,
Sherry Gerlock, Elk Horn, IA
