Book Description

A sense of well-being and good health is certainly high on most people's list of concerns. In this refreshing and informative book, Deng Ming-Dao shows readers that life need not be that frantic and encourages them to establish a balance in their lives though diet.

Drawing attention to the innately healthy practices of eating only fresh, seasonal foods, considering color, and allowing for the compatibility of flavors, this book will awaken the reader's senses and invigorate both the body and the spirit. From classic Zen dishes like Five-Color Stir-Fry to creative recipes like Mango Ginger Gazpacho, all of the recipes are accompanied with anecdotes and quotations from Zen masters. Also included is a section on tea and the ceremonial Zen approach to preparing and drinking it. This thought-provoking book is more than a collection of recipes--it is the key to a new lifestyle.

Beer can chicken has been a fave at my house for a long time. It was nice to find a book with all the brining and injecting information! No one else has that! The desserts were good and so were the accompaniments. I use this cookbook VERY much and really like it. The cartoons and humor made it a book to cook with that made me smile!

1 out of 5 stars horribly disappointing.......2004-12-29

My Japanese tea ceremony instructor bought this kit at the Freer Gallery`s gift shop to see what kind of quality would be available from a national museum specializing in Asian art. The answer: horribly disappointing. The only thing decent about it is the included book. The tea bowl is wrong, the incense is wrong, the whisk is quite wrong, and the fukusa is hideously, hideously wrong. The kit seems to be targeted toward clueless hippies.

The tea bowl was the item on which I was least clear what was wrong. It was too heavy for one thing, and it also didn't have glaze on the bottom.

The tines of the chasen, as you may be able to see from the product picture, are waaaaay too thick. The incense is in a stick form, which isn't right. (We haven't yet learned anything about incense or its role in chado, so I didn't know that.)

My instructor didn't even recognize the included piece of cloth as a fukusa. It was a white satin type of material, single thickness, with frayed edges. It wasn't folded right. This piece of cloth was the low point, the rock bottom, the pièce de crapitance, of the set.

You could arguably criticize the set for lacking a chashaku and natsume and matcha itself (IIRC); it can't claim to have everything you'd need for a tea ceremony. Now that I think about it, tea people could probably debate exactly what elements would constitute "everything you'd need for a tea ceremony," but I can't imagine those wouldn't include a chashaku and natsume.

The $18.90 price should probably be a giveaway. Not that "more expensive" = "higher quality", but it would just be impossible to provide any authenticity in a set that costs that little.
