About this title

From the Publisher

"This book is written in deceptively simple language and yet gets its points across so well that it has become a perennial favorite with Zen students. Even though some stores initially shelved the book under Cooking and the New York Daily News wrote a full-page article about the book on its food page, its obvious that people are now using the book not just in the kitchen but in other rooms of the house or the office. This was one of the first books connecting Buddhism to social action and, as such, it set a remarkable example."
--Toinette Lippe, editorial director of Bell Tower
