Review: soothing and light with deep content - I can watch this video many times and never tire of it, which is why I purchased it after watching a copy. It combines great humor, serious spiritual practice and commentary on our lives with inspiration and lightness. Suzuki's simple teaching of "letting the bird come home to your heart" when the monk is disturbed by the blue jay cawing outside his window while he tries to study is the jewel of the film. Edward Espe Brown is a funny, serious, charming man and he brings his human vulnerabilities to us all with compassion and authenticity. The chanting and bells are beautiful background to the inviting journey to this magical place. I highly recommend this film to anyone interested in Zen, meditation, good food and spirituality. It is a gem. Review: Food is holy - If you have a little patience while watching this film, you will be greatly rewarded. Edward Espe Brown is not only a wonderful cooking teacher, but a humorous and humble spiritual guide. The side stories about food that illuminate this film's philosophy are enlightening and thought provoking without having to resort to disturbing film footage about our corporate food industry's ugly side. I don't purchase many DVDs, but I had to have this for my small collection. I love to cook, and having this film is like having a spiritual guide at my side to help me be patient and have reverence while I prepare food for my loved ones and myself. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0014BQR74 | | Aspect Ratio | 1.78:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #149,160 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #2,287 in Exercise & Fitness (Movies & TV) | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 3.8 out of 5 stars (108) | | Director | Doris Dörrie | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 031398233053 | | MPAA rating | PG-13 (Parents Strongly Cautioned) | | Media Format | Closed-captioned, Color, Dolby, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Widescreen | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 0.7 x 7.5 x 5.4 inches; 2.72 ounces | | Release date | May 6, 2008 | | Run time | 1 hour and 34 minutes | | Studio | Lionsgate Home Entertainment | ## Product Details - **Contributor:** Doris Dörrie - **Format:** Closed-captioned, Color, Dolby, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Widescreen - **Genre:** Documentary - **Language:** English - **Number Of Discs:** 1 ## Images ![How To Cook Your Life - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41JVdxQd01L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ soothing and light with deep content *by P***A on October 16, 2012* I can watch this video many times and never tire of it, which is why I purchased it after watching a copy.

The film mixes subjects such as counciousness, justice,compassion quality in a way that is fun and thoughtful. Of course if you like to bake its perspective on this topic is refreshing and entertaining. Plus you can bake some awesome bread but you'll have to buy the book that includes recipes to do that. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/17223510-how-to-cook-your-life](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/17223510-how-to-cook-your-life) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
