Visualize Whirled Peas: Vegan Cooking from the San Antonio peaceCENTER

By Susan Ives

Cooking and sharing vegan meals is a spiritual practice of mindfulness and compassion. It is sometimes hard to remember that food is made of air, water, sun and soil; it is hard to remember the labor of the bees, the birds and the farmers; it is hard to remember the very miracle of food when it comes from a box, a can or a take-out window. It is hard to remember that a cow or a pig or a chicken or a salmon was a living, breathing sentient creature when we purchase a shrink-wrapped, sanitized styrofoam tray in a grocery store. The discipline of preparing fresh food reconnects us with the earth. The discipline of preparing a meal free of animals products is a reminder of our special connection with all other thinking and feeling beings. This book contains 116 recipes that will inspire you to create peace, salad, compassion, potatoes, community, soup and community.
