He calls it Hummingbird, I call it delicious! I opened Three Bowls this week to select a recipe for this week’s blog and when the book fell open to this page I realized that I had never baked this one. I don’t even recall ever tasting it, which is odd since I spent so many [...]
This has become a favorite of mine and is always a big hit for a winter lunch at my all day meditation groups. It comes via my good friend Ann Ogden who passed it along to me about four years ago. We cooked together many times at a Zen monastery in the Catskill mountains and now she teaches [...]
When the weather won't let up, stay warm by baking a delicious pumpkin bread! This delicious recipe comes at the perfect time for you to surprise your loved ones this Valentine's Day! Heat oven to 350º. Lightly oil (or butter) two large loaf pans or three small ones. 1 cup honey 1 cup maple syrup [...]
There’s nothing quite like a hot bowl of soup on a cold winter night. A warm wedge of cornbread to go with, and a salad on the side will make for a complete and easy meal. Maybe it’s the southern in me (my mom—and the cooking I grew up with—is from South Carolina) but I [...]
The holidays are upon us, and one thing we can count on are the fun festivities that come along with them! Whether you have a work party, friendly get-together, or family gathering to attend, you don't want to show up empty handed. My vegan chocolate walnut brownie recipe is sure to be a crowd pleaser [...]
This soup by Seppo was created too late to make our 3 Bowls cookbook, but it’s become a favorite of mine especially for large gatherings like Sunday’s All Day Sit. It’s a comforting soup for the fall with its array of colors and creamy texture. I usually mix in a bag of frozen green peas [...]
I was once nominated for an Oscar! Well, not a Hollywood Oscar, but a Food Oscar. And to be totally transparent, I wasn’t actually nominated, the cookbook, 3 Bowls, that I co-authored with Zen monk Seppo Ed Farrey, was nominated. And it was Seppo’s amazing recipes that qualified our book to be nominated for the James Beard Foundation [...]
Is like a day without… You can fill in the blank. For me, it changes daily. Could be love, sun, laughter, a deep breath, a satisfying night’s sleep, a pleasant dream, a warm breeze. I’ve spent almost half my life, maybe more, taking care of what and how I eat. Avoiding processed foods, red meat, [...]
It’s also my husband’s favorite, but I’ve never found a recipe I love. They’re usually too sweet or too dry or too something else. So I combed through some recipes and came up with my own for Michael’s 60th birthday a few years ago. With some help from an artist friend, we decorated it to [...]
