Gourmet's Diary Of A Foodie

Zen And The Art Of Cooking

Season 1, Episode 12 of 20

What is the true path to culinary enlightenment? In this episode, we'll look at how some chefs find their Zen by achieving inner harmony from cooking. We'll visit a famed London chef who challenges mainstream beliefs with his conviction that one should honor an animal by eating it in its entirety-from nose to tail. Then, we'll meet one of the world's foremost experts in Washoku-an age-old Japanese culinary philosophy that captures the harmonious balance of colors, flavors, cooking methods, and the five senses. From a California cheese maker who finds serenity in her craft, to a new york chocolatier who practices meditation through the creation of culinary art, join us as we learn how chefs find inner peace through their relationship with food.
