- May not be suitable for vegans
The book is very good and have texts between recipes that deserves its own book. It's a nice reading and learning and can give you some insights about zen cooking, but traditional Soto Zen meals are vegan (this is a Rinzai Zen book) so I feel a little awkward about reading "A Zen method to crack a hard boiled egg". The recipes can be easily adapted to a vegan meal, but even so, it could be excluded completely without any loss. Why they insist to see animals as "'food' provider" and why waste 10 liters of water and 10kg of grains to 1 liter of milk or some not healthy eggs? I don't know, maybe neither them.

- Zen.
This book not only conveys delicious, simple, vegan friendly, vegetarian recipes but it gives you a small insight into the life of Monastery cooking and living. It puts focus on the flavors of the food, being mindful of where your food was grown, how it is prepared, served, eaten, saved; the whole process.
The book is wonderfully written and you don't feel as if you're reading a cook book or recipe book - it all flows together so seamlessly. The author takes you from the garden where the caretaker is tending it daily to the cook who prepares the food with inspiring mindfulness to the monks who enjoy the final products.
This book helps bring Buddhism to your cutting board in so many ways. This is one of my absolute favorite books about food.

This is not just a bunch of recipes, though it has some good ones. It's about how to cook and appreciate the cook, the kitchen, the food, and how to take care of everything. No waste, no rush -- being-time is forty elbows -- so read, then roll up your sleeves and begin. Enjoy!
Rating: - Great cookbook!
Great recipes with mostly simple ingredients. Portions are perfect and instructions are precise and easy to follow.
Rating: - Wonderful, very useful book. Highly recommended.
If you ever thought of going vegetarian but were afraid that your taste buds would stage a revolt, try this book. Full of yummy, easy and very elegant recipe, the book makes vegetarian cooking a blast. You will never miss meat again! I bought this book after reading Dr. Campbell's The China Study, and it made sense even more.
A must for any budding vegetarian. Doesn't smell too heavy of insense (that is, not just for Zen practitioners). Money really well spent!
