How to Cook Your Life

Move over “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance!” Filmmaker Doris Dorrie, director of 2000’s sublime comedy Enlightenment Guaranteed, turns her attention to Buddhism and that age-old saying, “you are what you eat.” In HOW TO COOK YOUR LIFE Dorrie enlists the help of the charismatic Zen Master Edward Espe Brown to explain the guiding principles of Zen Buddhism as they apply to the preparation of food and life itself.

“Tasteful in more ways than one, mischievous and charming docu How to Cook Your Life serves up a heapin' helping of Zen.” (Eddie Cockrell, Variety)
