The way of the kitchen: actualizing sacred space -- You're the cook -- Coming to your senses -- Bringing spirit to life -- The work of being embodied -- Feeling your way along in the dark -- Careful observation of the obvious -- Seeking the way -- Let things come and abide in your heart -- The black dragon jewel is everywhere -- Doing the work yourself -- Food choices -- Eating -- Do not see with ordinary eyes, do not think with ordinary mind -- Arousing joy and well being -- Handling leftovers -- Cultivating a life of feeling.
In No Recipe, Zen teacher and cook Edward Espe Brown shares that the way to prepare food is not about following a recipe, but about letting the ingredients come forward to awaken and nourish our bodies and minds. The first head resident cook at Tassajara Zen Mountain Center, Brown later worked at the celebrated Greens Restaurant in San Francisco and was ordained a priest by Shunryu Suzuki Roshi. In this timeless collection of essays, Brown explores awakening in the sacred space of the kitchen.
