  • Preserving Food
    PRESERVING FOOD FREEZING or CANNING Traditional Techniques Using Salt, Oil, Sugar, Alcohol, Vinegar, Drying, Cold Storage, and Lactic Fermentation THE GARDENERS & FARMERS OF TERRE with a new foreword by VIVANTE Deborah Madison Food / Gardening / Preservation $ 25 00 USD For the Kitchen Poet Who Rhymes "Nutritious77 with "Delicious77 YPICAL BOOKS ABOUT PRESERVING garden produce nearly always assume that modern "kitchen gardeners" will boil or freeze Ttheir vegetables and fruits. Yet here is a book that goes back to the future—celebrating traditional but little-known French techniques for storing and preserving edibles in ways that maximize flavor and nutrition. Translated into English, and with a new foreword by Deborah Madison, this book deliberately ignores freezing and high-temperature canning in favor of methods that are superior because they are less costly and more energy-efficient. As Eliot Coleman says in his foreword to the first edition, "Food preservation techniques can be divided into two categories: the modern scientific methods that remove the life from food, and the natural 'poetic' methods that maintain or enhance the life in food. The poetic tech- niques produce ... foods that have been celebrated for centuries and are considered gourmet delights today." Preserving Food Without Freezing or Canning offers more than 250 easy and enjoyable recipes featuring locally grown and minimally refined ingredients. It is an essential guide for those who seek healthy food for a healthy world. CENTRE TERRE VIVANTE is an ecological research and education center located in Mens, Domaine de Raud, a region of southeastern France. Terre Vivante hosts courses on regenerative gardening and farm- ing, renewable energy, and ecological building techniques.

Most educational programs for health care professionals allocate little time to teaching practitioners how to treat the cause of disease and instead just focus on symptom suppression. A growing dissatisfaction with traditional medical and nutrition practice has created a demand for different educational pathways that incorporate such training. The Wellness Forum Institute is grounded in the use of only the most rigorous and independent scientific standards for evaluating nutrition and health information.

  • Wind Bell in Several Years
    PUBLICATION OF ZEN CENTER VOLUME XVII, NUMBER I - SUMMER 1983 Cover: The statue of Jizo (Earth Treasury Bodhisallva) at the Green Gulch zendo The hand mudra of the Gandharan Buddha after restoration Editor's Note: This is our first Wind Bell in several years. In the past we have apologized for the long delay between issues and have promised to do better, but we have not been able to keep our promise. So rather than promise again, we would only like to thank you for your patience, and also mention that this issue has been gestating for almost two years, so some of the material is not of the present moment. We are sorry, and we will keep trying. Also, many of you may have heard that in April Baker-roshi began a one-year leave of absence as Abbot of Zen Center. Since then here have been many changes and devel­ opments in Zen Center which we would like to tell you about. However, in order not to delay printing the Wind Bell any further, we are sending it out as it is. In the near future we will describe more fully our situation. 2 SANDOKAI LECTURE VI by Suzuki-roshi This lecture explains the following lines of the Sandokai: Shidai no sho onozukarafukusu Kono sono haha o uru ga gotoshi Hiwa Nesshi kaze wa doyo Mizu wa uruoi chi wa kengo.

  • Washington Post Food Editor Promotes the Joy Of
    JOE YONAN FORMER BARBECUE JUDGE from Texas, Washington Post food and travel editor Joe Yonan once wrote that he was “just plain hard- wired” to eat meat. After all, he grew up slow cooking brisket over mesquite chips in his family’s backyard. And he made a name for himself in food circles by eating his way through plates of meat at steak houses and county fairs. But over time, Yonan’s tastes became rewired. He first became aware of the change after his Serve Yourself cookbook came out in 2011. Flipping through the pages, Yonan was surprised to find that most of the recipes were meat-free. Then he noticed the meat piling up in his freezer. During an Austin food confer- ence, a visit to a famous barbecue joint failed to excite him: “That’s where I was realizing that something was really dif- ferent,” he says. Earlier this year, in a Post column head- lined “A Former Omnivore Comes Out as Vegetarian,” Yonan announced that he was no longer eating meat. Now with a new “Weeknight Vegetarian” column and the re- cently published Eat Your Vegetables cook- book, he extols the virtues of vegetables and shares recipes that will inspire even the most ardent omnivores to reduce their meat consumption. In this edited interview with HSUS public relations manager Anna West, Yonan discusses his evolution from king of the grill to promoter of the plant kingdom. What were some of the influences on your evolution to a vegetarian diet? I grew up in west Texas and certainly ate a lot of heavy meats my whole life.
