Three Bowl Cooking as in a Zen Monastery

Inspired by Staycations, see my former blog. And now inspired by a story of my friend in the Philippines. The lockdown is very strict and with christmas being there soon, people in the Philippines meet each other. They meet each other Online through Zoom meetings.

They have dinners together. The food is being sent to the family members, one makes the appetizer, the other the head course and one the dessert. So everyone it eating each others creations ant eat together in front of the computer. After dinner, online games are played together.

I think it is great, finding new opportunities to be together! And still be a hero and staying inside.

Hereby when you will make a Japanese themed dinner, my favorite and of my first cooking books. Three Bowl cooking, inspired by a Zen monastery, all vegetarian not vegan recipes by season. Easy to make, when you make three bowls (of different recipes to follow) your dinner is cute and different.

Enjoy!
