In the tradition of the best-selling GREENS AND TASSAJARA cookbooks, eclectic and delicious vegetarian fare from the nation's most traditional Zen Buddhist monastery... Each year, thousands of harried professionals head to Dai Bosatsu Zendo, an austerely elegant traditional Zen Buddhist monastery perched high in New York's Catskill Mountains. One of the most memorable aspects of life there is the food: singularly creative, simple vegetarian meals prepared by Seppo, the monastery's talented young chef, who has spent years perfecting his recipes. THREE BOWLS presents the dishes that have become monastery favorites: Banana Pecan Waffles, Sweet Potato Walnut Burritos, Linguine with Shitake Mushroom Cream Sauce, Coconut Corn Bread, and Strawberry Banana Layer Cake. Many of the recipes are vegan, many are low in fat, while others are joyful celebration meals. Illustrated with brush drawings and interspersed with stories of monastic life and Zen sayings, THREE BOWLS conveys the Zen spirit while deftly expanding the possibilities of vegetarian cooking.
