Description
This Czech-language vegetarian cookbook draws on the philosophy of Epicurus, who defined good living as “pleasure without distress” and argued that simple food can bring the same pleasure as a lavish feast when it frees us from the torment of deprivation. The book reflects on how longing for what we do not have can spoil what we do have, and on how creating well-being for others also brings well-being to ourselves. This includes all living beings capable of feeling pain, including the animals we eat, whose suffering, the text suggests, returns to us through toxins caused by stress and pain in their meat. With this awareness, Epicurus was almost certainly a vegetarian. In his unconventional cookbook, Benjamin Kuras presents a range of recipes in his witty style, intended to bring well-being to you and those around you.
