Aryaloka cookbook, an invitation to join the project

From Aryaloka Buddhist Center on Wed, 10 Feb, 2016 - 15:29

We are planning to create a cookbook called something like “The Aryaloka Buddhist Center Cookbook.” What we hope to do is to publish a collection of everyone’s favorite recipes plus essays about mindful eating, making healthy vegetarian/vegan dishes, etc. We hope to be able to create a quality product that will be low enough in cost to be a fundraiser, as well as something that could find a larger market in area bookstores (and beyond, maybe).
