The Zen Monastery Cookbook: Stories and Recipes from a Zen Kitchenby Cheri Huber
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The "stories" aspect of The Monastery Cookbook distinguishes it from all other cookbooks. Between sections of recipes are compositions from American Zen monks--those who were head cooks and those who assisted. These stories are funny and touching, and all reflect the difficulty, challenge, joy, and freedom inherent in living as a Zen monk. If this were not a cookbook--if there were no recipes in it at all--it would stand as an inspiring collections of writings. In this sense, The Monastery Cookbook is two books in one. Admirers of Cheri Huber's books will enjoy seeing Zen practice through the eyes of the monks under her guidance. The same simplicity and clarity for which her teaching is known shines through the stories written by the monks. The many low-fat vegetarian recipes are organized in standard cookbook format: main dishes, soups, breads, desserts, etc. There are many special features, including tips and suggestions for low-fat cooking and instructions for cooking whole grains and using tofu. The distinctive cover design identifies it as coming from Cheri Huber. Only, in this case, from the monks under her guidance at the Zen Monastery Practice Center in Murphys, California. The personal handwriting font and numerous drawings are also recognizable features of titles from Cheri Huber.
