| Opens Nov. 23rd 2007 in Toronto and Vancouver Filmmaker Doris Dörrie turns her attention to Edward Brown, a Zen Priest, cookbook author and San Francisco resident who uses vegetarian cooking and Zen Buddhism to relate to everyday life. To him eating is more than just the intake of food. Cooking is a festival of senses, and an act of love and generosity. His recipes are simple but rich in taste and aroma. To him you are not what you eat but you are also how you make it. In How To Cook Your Life, the charismatic Zen Master explains the guiding principles of Zen Buddhism as they apply to the preparation of food as well as life itself. During the summer of 2006, Doris Dörrie and her crew filmed Edward Brown at his cooking classes at the Buddhist center, Scheibbs in Austria and the two Californian Buddhist centers, the Tassajara Zen Mountain Center and the Zen Center in San Francisco, where he teaches people of all generations. “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.” |
