Experiencing God’s Presence in the
Kitchen and in Your Community
As God’s plan for redemption exquisitely unfolds throughout the Bible, you’ll notice that food plays in important role in the scriptural narrative. From the Eden to Egypt to Jesus’s many meals with his followers, and ultimately to the wedding feast that awaits all believers, food has always been a central part of God’s story.
Pastor and cooking enthusiast Alex Early invites you to experience God anew as you cook memorable meals for your friends, family, and fellow seekers. You’ll enjoy more than fifty recipes from Alex along with rich, spiritual insights on how you can use food to extend Christ’s love to others and live a life of greater gratitude and wholeness.
Join Alex for delicious meals and plenty of food for thought on the holy work we do in the kitchen.

Praise for Among the Pots and Pans
Alex Early expertly presents recipes full of passion and soul and spirit. One aspect of this book I admire so much is its insistence that cooking is an activity that constantly brings us closer to family and friends. This is exactly the reason why so many of us food lovers love food—it creates more time to spend with those we adore, and simultaneously makes the most of that very time.
—KRISTAN RAINES, author, creator of The Broken Bread
Bon Appetit! I never thought I would use those words to recommend a book of theology, but they are appropriate for this book. It’s biblically informative, doctrinally correct, and theologically insightful. Mix all of that with recipes and wonderful pictures, and you’ll find yourself hungry for food—and for grace and a deeper relationship with the One who cooked breakfast for his disciples and passed the bread and wine at the last supper.
—STEVE BROWN, author of Laughter and Lament, broadcaster, and seminary professor
I have been shaped in many ways by Alex's intense empathy for others and his sensitivity to God's presence. He’s never cooked me anything other than ramen noodles, but he's taught me so much about God. This book is uniquely and wonderfully reflective.
—STEVEN FURTICK, pastor, songwriter and music producer, and New York Times best-selling author
