{"product_id":"just-enough-gesshin-claire-greenwood-9781608685820","title":"Just Enough: Vegan Recipes and Stories from Japan's Buddhist Temples","description":"Fresh out of college, Gesshin Claire Greenwood found her way to a Buddhist monastery in Japan and was ordained as a Buddhist nun. Zen appealed to Greenwood because of its all-encompassing approach to life and how to live it, its willingness to face life's big questions, and its radically simple yet profound emphasis on presence, reality, the now. At the monastery, she also discovered an affinity for working in the kitchen, especially the practice of creating delicious, satisfying meals using whatever was at hand -- even when what was at hand was bamboo. Based on the philosophy of \u003cem\u003eoryoki\u003c\/em\u003e, or \"just enough,\" this book combines stories with recipes. From perfect rice, potatoes, and broths to hearty stews, colorful stir-fries, hot and cold noodles, and delicate sorbet, Greenwood shows food to be a direct, daily way to understand Zen practice. With eloquent prose, she takes readers into monasteries and markets, messy kitchens and predawn meditation rooms, and offers food for thought that nourishes and delights body, mind, and spirit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gesshin Claire Greenwood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1608685829\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781608685820\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New World Library\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/11\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.40w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/06\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/26\/2019","brand":"Gesshin Claire Greenwood","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44047123710207,"sku":"9781608685820","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1fc44a34-28c5-437b-833f-74e421778eaf.jpg?v=1684988395","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/just-enough-gesshin-claire-greenwood-9781608685820","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
