This is more than just another recipe book.

It celebrates food and asks us to experience the magic of preparing it. It introduces us to the possibility of making cooking and eating an exquisite, meditative, occasion - an antidote to our fast food junk culture. Ultimately, our enjoyment of things depends on the quality of attention we give them. Cooking and eating are no exception.

To help you do this, the 'Zenecdotes' accompanying the moody pictures in this book will put a Buddha smile on your face as you wait for the bread to rise...

A lot of people whom Ive cooked for often use to tell me that my food is so good why havent I written a book of all the Delicious Recipes I came up with. So that got me to thinking why not, Ill give it a shot. I said to myself why not come up with a cookbook so plain and simple to read and understand that a 5th Grader can become an expert in the kitchen. I even went as far to as to list the Ingredients first with the exact amount to use follow by the Directions that are so precise, it takes the room of error out of making any mistakes. Not only that, I said why not put different types of recipes everyone can enjoy in this book rather than just have a plain one like you see in stores and on stands. In addition I included different techniques of Kitchen Ideas one can use in the kitchen to help them along the way which I use even today that really works. To take it a step further, Ive added as a bonus things Worth Remembering around the house that we all use which can be an inexpensive way of cleaning your home with the fraction of cost from supplies you already have. I can tell you this, if I had a book like this around years ago loaded with all the goodies inside at my disposal, there would have been even more people at my windows and doors begging to see, smell and taste what was coming from my kitchen.

This book was written in 1954 by Jose del Carmen Garcia, a person that was passionate about eating and living healthy. He spent countless hours reading, researching and testing diets and their effect on health. This book presents his notes, findings and recommendations from his work. It is comforting to know that most of the principles that he describes in this book are consistent with what 60 years later are commonly accepted healthy diets. He also lived by these principles until one day at the age of 96 he went to sleep one night and never woke up. He is greatly missed, but this book will help readers understand and live by his legacy.
