The Mindful Kitchen. The Zen of Japanese Vegetarian Cooking

In Lesley Downer´s kitchen, she incorporates a Zen philosophy to the preparation and presentation of food; respect for nature and living things, and a reconnection to our heritage and traditions. The Mindful Kitchen contains an array of healthy and wholesome recipes that typify this philosophy - to waste less, to respect the earth and to be mindful in both our cooking and eating. It features over 90 recipes inspired by ideas of reducing waste, respecting tradition and nature and refining the way we cook and eat, which incorporate the mix of Asian influences in Lesley´s own life. The result is a stunning range of delicious vegetarian recipes that is both interesting to and accessible for a Western audience.
