Kendra Tierney is the founder and author of numerous Catholic books and of the website, Catholic All Year. Her most recent book is The Catholic All Year Prayer Companion (Ignatius Press 2021). As a wife and the mother of 10 children, Kendra somehow finds the time and energy to rather do it all. Her website touches on all aspects of her daily life, from prayers to family and home care, to writing, and finally, to cooking. And the basis of her busy life? Her Catholic faith. “I was raised Catholic,” she said, “and my dad converted when I was in college. I didn’t grow up with any liturgical living in the home traditions, but my mom made sure we received all of our sacraments and always went to Sunday Mass.” Another aspect of her early family life included cooking with her mom for holiday festivities. “My mom was an excellent holiday cook,” she said, “and I have fond memories of special meals at my grandparents’ house. But I managed to avoid learning even the basics of cooking before I left home.” But cooking was something that the young Kendra wanted to attempt and to perfect as a young wife. She recalled in the early days of her marriage, the couple dined out at the snappy Flea Street Café in Menlo Park, the first gourmet restaurant she had enjoyed.
