The Art of Mindful Baking is a delightful insight into how the act of baking is, by its very nature, a practical meditation that provides a wealth of physical, mental and social benefits.
Julia Ponsonby (author of the best-selling Gaia's Kitchen, Green Books) looks at what it means to use our hands and how kneading promotes wellbeing. This book explores the true and enduring value of eating real food from the mental focus instilled when judging proportions and cooking time, through to the sense of accomplishment felt when taking the finished bake from the oven and sharing amongst friends.
Eighteen delicious recipes are woven into the text, each with a story of their own; simple spelt bread, brown rolls and scones lead the reader onto more complex bakes, such as stollen, sourdough and souffle. By the end of the book, you'll feel reconnected with one of life's most basic, sustaining elements.

Mindful Thoughts for Cooks: Nourishing body & soul

For ten years, Schumacher College at Dartington has been brewing up a unique potpourri of human connections, raising ecological awareness, and stimulating taste buds. For many students and teachers, their visit to the College has been a first and tantalizing experience of delicious vegetarian cooking. Repeatedly they have gone away demanding recipes -- and suggesting a cookbook.
The cuisine at the College calls upon the best of Mediterranean, Californian, Indian, and Mexican vegetarian cooking. It celebrates old favorites rich in cheese and eggs, and offers a variety of tempting new vegan dishes using ingredients such as pulses, tofu, and tempeh. At the same time, issues around food production, health, and special diets are clearly presented so that people can evolve a healthy diet, embellished with the rich variety of the recipes -- together with an awareness of the ecological issues that affect our food today.
Gaia's Kitchen offers a full repertoire of menus: main courses, salads, soups, desserts, breads, cakes, and biscuits. As well as offering family-sized quantities, it offers community-sized quantities, making it invaluable for teaching centers, communities, and anyone who wants to prepare a vegetarian banquet for thirty or forty friends. Gaia's Kitchen also commemorates the first ten years of the College, so a documentary montage of photographs runs alongside the recipes, evoking a sense of this unique place: a place that has, in the last decade, become an established center for excellence in ecological and holistic education.
