Product Info Reviews

Description:

Buddha. Gingerbread. Challah. A culinary koan? Zen teachings are often presented as koans--enlighteningly subtle puzzles we associate with imponderables such as "what is the sound of one hand clapping?" Zen cookbooks tend to be vegetarian, Asian, or relentlessly sincere, even austere, in their celebration of mind and spirit. So recipes for cleansing the mind in this serenely elegant softcover volume from the editors of Tricycle: The Buddhist Review won't surprise you. The ones for Free Range Coq au Vin and hearty (Beef) Stew with Dumplings might, however. In keeping with their belief in moderation, i.e., a little of everything creates balance in life, these Zen Buddhists support eating meat.
