Bettina Vitell is the founder of The Beat'n Path, one of New York's first
natural food restaurants. A Tenzo (head chef) trained at a Zen monastery in
the Catskill Mountains, Vitell views the kitchen as a place of
transformation, "a great workshop." Her book promotes a Zen-based
philosophy about the relationship between good food and good health. The
author's vegetarian dishes, created from uncomplicated recipes that stress
fresh ingredients, reflect Vitell's Zen thinking. Her goal--to present low
dairy, satisfying meatless fare--is deliciously achieved in a blending of
ingredients and flavors that are characteristic of both the East and West.
Vitell has selected a variety of dishes that seem to nurture the soul as
well as the body. Recipes fall into the following areas: soups, pasta and
grains, curries, Mexican tastes, sushi ideas, pizza and vegetable tarts,
vegetable dishes, salads, sauces and salad dressings, breakfast ideas, and
desserts. A sampling of dishes featured includes: Szechuan green beans and
soba noodles, bruschetta with tomato and basil, huevos rancheros, and lemon
tart with berries.
This cookbook includes menu suggestions, a glossary of ingredients, and two
brief essays--one on Zen philosophy and the other on sensory awareness. It
is enhanced with pen-and-ink style illustrations. An excellent feature is
the clearly organized index. A TASTE OF HEAVEN AND EARTH is highly
recommended to any reader interested in expanding their repertoire in and
appreciation of meatless cooking.
