Korean Mountain Temple Cooking

사진과 함께 읽는 한국의 불교 음식문화. 한국의 사찰음식에는 생명을 직접 길러내고_ 맛을 지양하며_ 가짓수에 집착하지 않는 스님과 공양주 보살의 땀방울과 한국의 사계절이 들어 있다. 제철에 필요한 만큼의 채소를 수확하여 맵지도 짜지도 않게 만들어낸 사찰음식은 생명을 존중하고_ 청정한 수행 풍토를 유지하려는 불가의 노력이 담겨 있다. 작가 이경애가 써 내려간 문장에는 이 아름다움이 여실히 드러난다.

단순한 사찰음식 레시피가 아니다. 직접 사찰을 찾아 스님과 공양주 보살들을 인터뷰하고_ 그 여여한 모습 그대로의 이야기를 담아낸 흔적이 역력하다. 사찰음식에 입힌 아름다운 이야기뿐 아니라 한국 사찰의 다양한 풍광 그리고 취재 대상이 되었던 사찰의 대표 음식 레시피를 포함해 영미권 독자들에게 흥미를 불러일으킬 수 있도록 재출간되었다. 한국불교를 소재로 한 작품 활동을 활발히 진행하고 있는 사진작가 하지권의 130여 컷 작품을 수록하고 있다.
