Can't wait to go from 1 to 108 Sep 22, 2011
By Iris Burkat
I JUST RECEIVED MY BOOK AND CAN'T PUT IT DOWN. THERE ARE SO MANY UNUSUAL BUT EASY RECIPES THAT I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYWHERE ELSE. THE BIG SURPRISE IS HOW MUCH MORE THIS IS THAN RECIPES ...I HAVE VOWED TO READ COVER TO COVER BEFORE EVEN STARTING WHAT PROMISES TO BE A WHOLE NEW JOURNEY IN THE KITCHEN --THE AUTHOR IS OBVIOUSLY AN INCREDIBILY AWARE, LONG TIME TRAVELER AND EXPERIENCED AND CARING CHEF, WHO SHARES HER OWN PERSONAL JOY, KNOWLEDGE, EXPERIENCES AND BELIEFS ABOUT FOOD AS WELL AS THE BELIEFS OF OTHERS TODAY AND THROUGHOUT HISTORY ... AND THIS FROM A MEAT AND POTATOES EATING NON-BUDDHIST!

A Unique and Interesting Cookbook. Yummy. Apr 23, 2012
By M. Ponder
As a new vegan, I took this book out of the library while searching for dinner ideas. The book contains wisdom that you would not expect to find in a cookbook, and the recipes were different from what I have found in other books. I tried two recipes--one containing black-eye peas, the other fava beans. My family loved them both. Now note--I am the new vegan, not them! Anyway if you are looking for something different (especially if you eat a lot of beans and greens and whole grains) and you like spices like cumin, chili powder, curry etc., then look no further. This is the book for you.
Delectable Dishes with Entertaining and Enlightening Prose Apr 06, 2012
By hdwg2012
I love this book and cannot recommend it highly enough. You should know these things, and then purchase the book right away:
1) Amazing, authentic and creative recipes from around the world, with a heavy emphasis on Asia.
2) Interspersed with short essays on the history of food, again an emphasis on the Buddhist traditions.
3) Each recipe I have tried has become an instant favorite; complex, full flavors but easy enough to do.
4) The author has been a cook for Buddhist monasteries for 30+ years, and the recipes are sized for larger groups (typically 6-10 people).
5) All this gives the impression that these recipes are time tested, well used and well loved.
6) Many recipes are vegan or easily veganized. All are vegetarian.
7) Despite the lack of photos, the book is a pleasure to read.
8) Did I mention amazing recipes? I about fell out of my chair when I tasted the dhal; guests have already begged me for the recipe for the Armenian greenbeans; the Mexican rice might be the best this Texan has ever had; the kale salad was the right blend of tart and sweet...etc., etc., et cetera...
It deserves a lot more attention than it has received on Amazon. This is my first review on Amazon. I'm excited, can you tell?!!!
