The harvesting of nature's gifts, the gentle excitement of a subtle spice, the mix of disparate ingredients into a miraculous whole...preparing a meal--and sharing it with others--can be an experience that fulfills us in more than a physical way. Whether it's the raw pleasure of biting into a fresh apple or the slow heat that brings to life an artfully seasoned tomato sauce, learning to appreciate the role that food plays in our lives can offer us a more contemplative and joyous existence--and let us find the peace and contentment we've been searching for right in our own kitchens.

Order a quantity for gifts,

This review is from: The Zen of Food (Paperback)
I loved this book so much that I found myself reading slower and fewer pages at each sitting just to make it last! I then ordered a dozen copies and have been giving them away as birthday and Christmas gifts. If it made me feel so good, I think it will do the same for my friends and family.

Zen?,
This review is from: The Zen of Food (Paperback)
Zen is a word that the Japanese took from Chinese language. It is not an easy word, the semantics of the character are difficult even for the Chinese. Mrs. Murphey uses a deffinition from 'Chambers Twentieth Century Dictionary'. She does, however, acknowledge the use of the word in Buddhism. So, it struck me as remarkable that the first recipie in her book is for Pot Roast (the real thing--not gluten or Tofu). Therefore, although this may be a charming little book for some, I felt missled; and, as a vegetarian and great admirer of Zen Buddhism, quite dissapointed.
