The Rev. Joseph Tedesco OCSO (Monastic/Vegetarian)

Tedesco of Mepkin Abbey mastered the art of cooking for very large crowds when preparing meals for a Boston soup kitchen in the 1960s and Vietnamese refugees on an army base in the 1970s. Nowadays, he feeds about 35 people at Mepkin Abbey each day.

Favorite childhood food: Anything Italian.

Current favorite food to make: Any kind of soup.

Keep in mind when cooking a Tedesco recipe: Monastic cooking emphasizes simplicity and healthfulness, but it doesn’t have to be made in meager portions. Because Tedesco developed his recipes to serve dozens, they can be easily multiplied.
