I didn't even look at most of the recipes. It's a lovely, well-laid-out book with a bunch of little stories and explanations about life in the monastery. The focus is on how the monks use the mundane tasks of life (cooking, eating) to improve their Zen practice.

My favorite cookbook ever! Everything in it is simple, easy, healthy, seasonal and delicious. I think it is possible that my mom has actually made every single recipe in it.

This is a great book of simple (don't need a gazillion ingredients) vegetarian recipes.

Its Zen so its veggie, which is good for me. The recipies are simple yet elegent (again, very Zen), and grouped together in meals, so they go nicely with one another. I come back to this one again and again.
