For special occasion birthdays, group giving, or just to tell someone that he or she deserves more than the ordinary card, A Birthday Bouquet ensures the happy day and the sender will be remembered long after the day's celebration has passed.

Written by a Benedictine monk, this book combines appetising recipes with an emphasis on fresh and seasonal produce, with medieval woodcuts. The recipes have been arranged in month order but with year-round availability of most food items, they can be enjoyed at any time of the year.
