How to Cook Your Life

Doris Dörrie met Zen priest and chef Ed Brown, and he told her about his life. The filmmaker was a guest at his lectures, observed him as a chef and leader of cooking classes. Under his tutelage, it's more than just eating food: for Brown, cooking is a form of caring, toward himself and others. Doris Dörrie succeeds in capturing the magical moment when Brown's direct and practical advice unfolds its philosophical depth and wisdom.
