What did they eat, and how did unethical monks get around the rules?. Was it really possible to sustain life on so little food?. Full of rich anecdotes, and including recipes for basic monk's stew and bread soup -- and many others -- this is a fascinating story of hermits, monks, food and fasting in the Middle Ages.
