Quotes from Edward Espe Brown

Cooking is not a mystery.

If we each told each other our deepest, darkest secrets, we would laugh uproariously at our lack of originality.

Over many years, I found that if I could relate with food with warmhearted compassion, eventually I could learn to treat people with love and respect, and I could touch my own wounds with tenderness.

You Mean It You cook because you decide to cook. You decide to take it on and everything that comes with it. You cook because you mean it. Your heart and hands work more and more in alignment with your clear intention. You'll see it through because you decided to see it through—and because the work itself is making your love manifest. Food appears!
