It's not what you eat, but how you eat, according to nutritionist Deborah Kesten. By exploring the food rituals of numerous cultures, Kesten reveals how food feeds the spirit as well as the flesh. We learn that in order to make soul food, one must learn the art of cooking from feel. Like creating great jazz, African American soul food comes from the depths of wisdom as well as the ability to playfully improvise. The Buddhist monks model the mechanics of mindful eating. And sacred fasting is best illustrated by the Native American vision quest. In the second half of the book, Kesten delves into useful advice on eating disorders, food-mood connections, and specific how-tos of enlightened eating. --Gail Hudson

5.0 out of 5 stars Feeding the Body, Nurturing the Soul, September 4, 2001
By LVU (Seattle WA.USA) - See all my reviews
Feeding the body, nurishing the soul leads us to experience the same soul in all. Kesten brilliantly looks at how we all have the same basic need for feeding and maintaining the body, yet express it so differently. By following the different rituals page by page, she leads us to communion with our own soul and then unties us, though our differences. I use this book to envision blessing my food and seeing it though the eyes of other cultures and it has been eye opening. Thank you for writing about this most important topic.
