As I began studying zen buddhism , I have rediscovered the brilliant simplicity that exists . The kitchen is my place where there is no noise - just a blank canvas of a countertop and a room begging to be filled with an aroma that greets those at the door of my home .
The intent of this blog is to create a space for cost-effective, time-effective, real life recipes with ingredients you can find at a typical grocery store. I have been approached many times this summer by friends looking to add a few more veggies and less meat to their diet. Being a vegetarian does not have to be boring- so have fun experimenting and enjoying the zen of cooking!
I stumbled upon a film by Edward Espe Brown entitled- How to Cook Your Life . Edward is a zen priest that has introduced the world of bread-making to me . I began this journey exploring The Tassajara Bread Book and it has grown into a whole new love . I would like to share my journey with you .
Recipes do not belong to anyone- given to me , I give them to you . Recipes are only a guide , a skeleton framework, to be fleshed out according to your nature and desire . Your life , your love , will bring these recipes into full creation . This cannot be taught . You already know . *Words of Edward Espe Brown
So: cook, love, feel, create
Namaste,
Michelle
