eat, pray, love
Elizabeth Gilbert
At the age of thirty-one, Gilbert moved with her husband to the suburbs of New York and began trying to get pregnant, only to realize that she wanted neither a child nor a husband. Three years later, after a protracted divorce, she embarked on a yearlong trip of recovery, with three main stops: Rome, for pleasure (mostly gustatory, with a special emphasis on gelato); an ashram outside of Mumbai, for spiritual searching; and Bali, for "balancing." These destinations are all on the beaten track, but Gilbert´s exuberance and her self-deprecating humor enliven the proceedings: recalling the first time she attempted to speak directly to God, she says, "It was all I could do to stop myself from saying, ´I´ve always been a big fan of your work.´"

Feeding the Body, Nourishing the Soul
Deborah Kesten
It´s not what you eat, but how you eat, according to nutritionist Deborah Kesten. By exploring the food rituals of numerous cultures, Kesten reveals how food feeds the spirit as well as the flesh. We learn that in order to make soul food, one must learn the art of cooking from feel. Like creating great jazz, African American soul food comes from the depths of wisdom as well as the ability to playfully improvise. The Buddhist monks model the mechanics of mindful eating. And sacred fasting is best illustrated by the Native American vision quest. In the second half of the book, Kesten delves into useful advice on eating disorders, food-mood connections, and specific how-tos of enlightened eating.
