. But the practice did grow out of a tradition of fasting during the Middle Ages, when the Christian calendar was crammed with holy days requiring keepers of the faith to avoid eating meat, or three square meals altogether. Since then, the Catholic Church–as well as adjacent Christian faiths–have certainly spread the gospel about eating fish at the end of the week, leading to a multitude of fish-and-chip shops in the U.K. and annual firehall dinners in the Midwest.

But she also belongs to, a group of women chefs who prepare weekly lunches for houseless individuals. The mother of two young daughters, Buffara sources sea bass from coastal Brazil when she cooks for them at home.
