    Delicious recipes for mindful living from the internationally renowned retreat center Plum Village in France

    Offering a unique blend of mindfulness and culinary creativity, inspired by the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh and the serene lifestyle of Plum Village, this is a must-have for those who seek harmony in both food and life.

    With more than a hundred recipes, The Plum Village Cookbook gives aspiring mindful chefs all they need to recreate the mouthwatering, nourishing dishes from the famed French retreat center, where 40,000 people go annually to learn how to meditate and live in harmony with nature. Reflecting the rich cultural diversity of this international tradition, the collection spans favorites of vegan Vietnamese cooking and plant-based traditions from France and other countries in Europe and Asia. From wholesome breakfasts to main meals bursting with veggies, the recipes in the book are easy to prepare and perfect for busy people wishing to slow down and savor their food mindfully.  

    Together with the recipes selected by the nuns and monks of Plum Village, the book offers contemplative practices for mindful cooking, eating, and even washing the dishes to bring peace, calm, and joy to your everyday table. "In this food, I see clearly the presence of the entire universe supporting my existence."
    Thich Nhat Hanh, a world-renowned spiritual teacher and peace activist, was born in Vietnam in 1926 and became a Zen Buddhist monk at the age of sixteen. Over seven decades of teaching, he published more than one hundred books, which have sold millions of copies. Exiled from Vietnam in 1966 for promoting peace, his teachings on Buddhism as a path to social and political transformation are responsible for bringing the mindfulness movement to the West. He established the international Plum Village Community of Engaged Buddhism in France, now the largest Buddhist monastery in Europe and the heart of a growing community of mindfulness practice centers around the world, led by his students, who are now among the most respected Zen teachers today.
