Eating With a Spiritual Compass

Most everyone likes to eat, and food is such a necessary part of life, it is something we often take for granted. I am particularly drawn to Chef Samuelsson's savvy approach to eating with spiritual consciousness which truly elevates the topic beyond it's normally compelling interest.


"In America we are engaged in constant battle with food. We struggle with eating healthily, obesity, and access to good nutrition for everyone. But we have a great opportunity to get on the right side of this battle by beginning to think differently about the way that we eat and the way that we approach food. It's not a new fad diet that we need, but a new way of viewing our relationship with food. A way to connect with food and our eating habits in a more spiritually focused way".

"America, with its history of freedom of religion and the diversity of beliefs that have resulted from that, is in a unique position to reintegrate a spiritual compass into our way of eating. Our food traditions and spiritual experiences may be diverse, but they all establish a common ground and give us a reference point from which to share in each other's life and to learn from each other."


Marcus Samuelsson is a fabulous chef and an even more fabulous human being.  As a Top Chef Master winner his food authority is clear and presented in his usual gracious manner.   His new book forthcoming in October promises to be an amazing journey in delectable recipes and inspiration.
