Vegan World Fusion CuisineHealing Recipes & Timeless Wisdom from Our Hearts to Yours
Eaten at Kauai's Blossoming Lotus recently? If so, you know what a difference it makes to eat vegan food prepared with skill, from the heart.
Vegan World Fusion Cuisine is a gorgeous oversize volume offering a visual feast of photos of elegant dishes and sacred sites, a collection of 200 recipes from executive chef Mark Reinfeld and his staff of award-winning chefs, and timeless wisdom from healers, musicians, artists and philosophers. From its foreword by Dr. Jane Goodall to the very last page, this stunningly beautiful guidebook will be used, appreciated, enjoyed and treasured by experienced vegans and those just experimenting with a vegan lifestyle.
The recipes in each section are ordered in terms of ease of preparation, and charts at the end guide the “newbie” through the challenges of making the shift to vegan. But it is so much more than a cookbook! It's a masterpiece that succeeds in incorporating all the aspects of life influenced by our eating choices--health on all levels, environmental and political awareness, spiritual awakening. It even includes a guide to resources on vegan education, living foods, organic farming, permaculture, environmental and animal rights groups, and world peace and hunger organizations.
I would call it a must for any cook at all interested in food as an instrument of universal harmony.

The Mastery of Love
A Practical Guide to The Art of Relationship
In The Mastery of Love, don Miguel Ruiz illuminates the fearbased beliefs and assumptions that undermine love and lead to suffering and drama in our relationships.
Using insightful stories to bring his message to life, Ruiz shows us how to heal our emotional wounds, recover the freedom and joy that are our birthright, and restore the spirit of playfulness vital to loving relationships.
The international bestselling author of the book The Four Agreements (a New York Times best-seller for four years), don Miguel has dedicated his life to sharing the wisdom of the ancient Toltecs and to guiding others toward their personal freedom. Born into a family of healers, he first learned about Toltec tradition from his curandera (healer) mother and his nagual (shaman) grandfather.
Toltec wisdom holds that three fundamental masteries guide us to our true nature, which is happiness, freedom, and love. The mastery of awareness of what we are is the first step to knowing what kind of freedom we seek. The mastery of transformation, teaches us to stalk our actions and reactions so we can change the thoughts and beliefs that run our lives.
Once these masteries are achieved, we are ready to master love, to align ourselves with the Spirit of Life passing through us so that everything we do is an expression of love, which can only create happiness.
In this abridged double-CD album don Miguel shares wisdom that transforms complex human issues into simple common sense.
The text is read by Jill Eikenberry and Michael Tucker, celebrity couple best known for their roles in the TV series L.A. Law. Don Miguel's books have been translated into more than 30 languages and have earned him millions of fans and a vote of approval from Oprah Winfrey.
