*Ven. Daean’s Heart-Fluttering Recipes* is a book that reflects on today’s distorted food culture based on the philosophy of our temple food, commonly known as "jeolbap," and reminds us that carefully examining, preparing, and eating food with all one’s heart is the first step in leading one’s life correctly.
