Summary:
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.
