St. Joseph Altars

Kerri McCaffety,

About this book

The acclaimed New Orleans photographer captures the celebration of St. Joseph's Day through images and traditional Sicilian recipes.

According to legend, Saint Joseph sent rain to save the people of Sicily from drought during the Middle Ages. To thank their patron saint, Sicilians made offerings of their finest crops to feed the poor—a display of food and faith that continues today. This beautiful custom, La Tavola di San Giuseppe, came to America as immigrants formed what is still the largest Sicilian population in the United States in New Orleans, Louisiana.

In 120 color photographs, Kerri McCaffety shows a sparkling array of Saint Joseph altars where flowers, candles, and photographs of lost loved ones crowd around statues of saints on three-tiered shrines piled with biscotti, pane, cuccidati, frittate, and pignolatti. In addition to describing the spiritual symbolism of these foods, McCafferty includes recipes for the most important dishes, including a cannoli recipe from Emeril Lagasse.

Nineteen recipes contributed by local Saint Joseph aficionados—from a Sicilian grandmother to New Orleans' most famous chef—include traditional Italian cookies and sweets, baked fish, and bread believed to have the power to calm a storm.
