While traveling to Buddhist monasteries across Japan and Korea, Eric Ripert witnessed an entirely different relationship with food than he had ever seen before: one rooted in reverence, sustainability and intention. He noticed that every seed planted, every ingredient prepared and every meal shared was infused with care and purpose. The respect for nature and the understanding of food as nourishing both body and soul resonated deeply, inviting him to reevaluate the way he approached cooking and eating.From that revelation came an eclectic collection of recipes, drawing from a wide range of culinary inspiration, including the flavors Chef Ripert experienced on his travels in Asia and the French classics of his youth. And above all, each dish is designed to be easy, nutritious and joyful to make — not to mention totally delectable. But “Mindful Cooking” is far more than just recipes; Chef Ripert urges us to deepen our connection to what we eat, embrace cooking as an act of love and recognize that every meal is an opportunity to nourish more than just our bodies.Ways To SaveWBUR’s Legacy Circle, Murrow Society, Sustainers and Members save $5.00 on tickets to this event.
