Food Philosophy at Pendle Hill

The Cooks at Pendle Hill see their job as a ministry of love and concern. They try to promote good health and a sense of well-being by serving nutritionally balanced meals, using a limited amount of processed foods.  Most foods, including bread and other staples, are homemade, and they make extensive use of organic fruits and vegetables from their garden. Many dinners are vegetarian and include protein sources from grains and beans. Other dinners include free-range meat or poultry, or fish chosen with conservation in mind.

Cooking from scratch

We cook from scratch as much as possible, making our own bread, granola, organic yogurt and salad dressings. Organic fresh fruits and vegetables are used extensively, including seasonal offerings from our garden.

Delicious, varied meals 

Dinner menus are planned by the community of cooks in a monthly meeting. They rotate entrees to include fish, fowl, meat, and Vegetarian dishes. For those who prefer to eat only Vegetarian or Vegan food, an alternative dish is available at every meal.

Small planet, finite resources

Because Pendle Hill sees us as members of a very small planet where people are hungry every day, we try to eat as low on the food chain as possible. This means limiting our use of meats, which require far more acreage to produce a given amount of protein than is the case with the production of vegetable protein foods. We enjoy exploring the wide variety of delicious vegetarian foods available; many of the meals we serve are meatless. The meat and poultry that we serve is free range, without antibiotics or hormones. We continue to seek out sources for our fish with a concern for our oceans and rivers as well as the preservation of fish species.
