Three-Michelin-starred chef Eric Ripert, the New York Times bestselling author of Vegetable Simple and Seafood Simple, brings together his two great passions as he explores how food can bring health, joy, mindfulness, and gratitude into our daily lives, with over 75 easy and delicious plant-based recipes.
Showcasing delicious, vegetable-forward dishes—from vibrant salads like Radish & Turnip Carpaccio with Yuzu Kosho Vinaigrette to hearty mains like Dan Dan Noodles and Eggplant Schnitzel, from wholesome desserts like Avocado-Lime Tart to restorative juices and teas like Chrysanthemum, Chamomile & Verbena Infusion—Mindful Cooking invites us to reevaluate the way we think about cooking and eating. While traveling to Buddhist monasteries across Japan and Korea, Eric Ripert witnessed an entirely different relationship with food than he had ever seen before: one rooted in reverence, sustainability, and intention. He noticed that every seed planted, every ingredient prepared, and every meal shared was infused with care and purpose. The respect for nature and the understanding of food as nourishing both body and soul resonated deeply, inviting him to reevaluate the way he approached cooking and eating.
From that revelation came an eclectic collection of recipes, drawing from wide range of culinary inspiration, including the flavors Chef Ripert experienced on his travels in Asia and the French classics of his youth. And above all, each dish is designed to be easy, nutritious, and joyful to make—not to mention totally delectable. But Mindful Cooking is far more than just recipes; Chef Ripert urges us to deepen our connection to what we eat, embrace cooking as an act of love, and recognize that every meal is an opportunity to nourish more than just our bodies.
