Polish Sister Anastazja Pustelnik has become a bestselling author with her five cookbooks that have now sold over a million copies. Sr Anastazja has been cooking for the Jesuits for years, and they got the idea to put some of her recipes together in a brochure, which later became her first book, 103 Cakes of Sister Anastazja, the Krakow Post reports.
Published in 2001, it is her most popular book, with around 400,000 copies sold to date.
Her later books include recipes for some polish classics and a selection of international dishes, which she learned to cook when some of the Jesuit priests returned from their studies abroad with new requests.
Her latest book, which was published last year, puts together 123 salad recipes.
Her talent to create easy recipes has resulted in five cookbooks that have sold at least 1.1 million copies in her country, and negotiations are underway to translate and publish her books in countries like Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
Despite her success as a writer, she says that all of her efforts are in service to God. After morning prayers, she goes to the Jesuit Centre in Krakow and cooks lunch for 20 priests. She claims God gives her the recipes.
Profits from the books go to good causes, including, of course, Jesuit programs.
