Tomato Blessings and Radish Teachings [B0046]

1997 HCDJ in very good, clean condition. A Zen priest and author of The Tassajara Bread Book interweaves recipes and meditations, presenting a range of delicious vegetarian treats, including Irish oat cakes and ginger muffins, while reflecting on the spiritual aspects of food and life.

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "I've loved Brown's cookbooks for a long time, and this was my favorite book of his I've read. The joyful combination of Zen Buddhism and cooking really works for me, as do the simple, down-to-earth vegetarian recipes. This more of an essay collection than a cookbook, and the recipes are really a playlist of Tassajara greatest hits. Every moment I spent reading this book was a joy."; "How does zen work in the kitchen, indeed in our lives? Mr. Brown has some delightful answers, and recipes. Timeless!"; "This was one of the most influential books I read many years ago, making me appreciate the magic of simple foods and the spiritual joy of preparing and eating gifts from the earth. I would give it five stars, except the recipes are vegetarian (and I am now vegan). The book is part philosophy, part biography, part cookbook -- but the sum is truly greater than its parts. A truly nourishing read."
