Order a quantity for gifts
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?
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.

Zen?, November 26, 1999
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.
