Introduction to Simply Zen - Vegetarian Cooking to Satisfy Your Soul

Kakuho Aoe, a Japanese Buddhist monk and also temple cook, presents you his first recipe book, Simply Zen: Vegetarian Cooking to Satisfy Your Soul.

One vital aspect to the Zen sect of Buddhism is monks' adherence to a strictly vegetarian diet. Eating neither meat nor fish, monks also avoid ingredients like garlic, onion, leeks, and chives. As a result, the food prepared in Zen monasteries is healthy, low-calorie, accentuates the most subtle of flavors, and can even be eaten to help detox the body.
The recipes contained in Simply Zen can all be made in three easy steps, leaving cooks with beautiful, healthful dishes that can be enjoyed as a regular meal or presented to guests.
