Film Night: "How to Cook Your Life"

This is a delightful film about the art of cooking and the art of cooking your life by Zen priest Edward Espe Brown, author of the million selling Tassajara Bread book. During the summer of 2006 Doris Dorrie filmed Edward Brown at his cooking classes at the Buddhist centre Schiebbs in Austria and at the two Californian Buddhist centres, the Tassajara Zen Mountain Center and the Zen Center in San Francisco. Brown demonstrates that eating is more than just the intake of food. Cooking is a festival of the senses, and an art of love and generosity.
