Overview

Vegetarian lunch, picnic, and appetizer recipes from the legendary Buddhist monastery. These are delectable dishes worthy of a feast!” —Menupause
 
Tassajara Zen Mountain Center, set deep in California’s Ventana Wilderness, is famous for its healthy gourmet vegetarian cuisine. Guests are known to rave about one particular Tassajara tradition: the bag lunch. Tassajara Cookbook shares these never-before-published recipes for savory sandwich spreads, pâtés and loaves, egg and tofu sandwich fillings, salads, chutneys, sauces, marinades, and butters, as well as recipes for baked goods and sweet treats.
 
“And this is now my most favorite cookbook! It is full of gorgeous spreads, amazing tofu recipes, delicious vegan cookies and salad ideas.” —Mette the Homeopath
 
“The cookies are all of that slightly healthy, hippy ilk, but in a good way. These cookies are perhaps too good for a meditation retreat: I would probably spend more time obsessing which cookies they were putting in my bag lunch, than meditating into a Zen state of detachment . . . but hey, maybe that’s just me.” —The Back Yard Lemon Tree
