How To Cook Your Life
A film by Doris Dörrie

How To Cook Your Life with Zen Chef Edward Espe Brown - Move over "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance!" Here comes Zen and the Art of a Good Meal! Filmmaker Doris Dörrie turns her attention to Buddhism and that age-old saying, you are what you eat. In How To Cook Your Life, Dörrie enlists the help of the charismatic Zen Master Edward Espe Brown to explain the guiding principles of Zen Buddhism as they apply to the preparation of food as well as life itself.

"How a person goes about dealing with the ingredients for his meals" explains Dörrie "says a lot about him. How To Cook Your Life teaches us to be attentive in our everyday dealings with the most mundane things and also open our eyes to one of the most beautiful occupations: cooking."
