How to Cook Your Life
Winter - Spring 2010
"Let Your Passion Cook"; from the March 2010 issue of Shambhala Sun
Mindful cooking is not detached or subdued. It's cooking with your whole being engaged--mind, body, and emotions. And remember, it's better when you're feeling your way in the dark and asking what is the most important point.
Read the entire article here, and try the included recipe for Arugula Salad with Avocado and Cashew Nuts.
The truth is you're already a cook.
Nobody teaches you anything,
but you can be touched, you can be awakened.
Put down the book and start asking,
"What have we here?"
Though recipes abound, for soups and salads,
breads and entrées, for getting enlightened
and perfecting the moment, still
the unique flavor of Reality
appears in each breath, each bite,
each step, unbounded and undirected.
Each thing just as it is,
What do you make of it?
