Kimberley Snow offers an outrageously funny and honest account of her adventures as head cook at a Tibetan Buddhist retreat center. With her earthy sensibility and sharp sense of humor, the author shows this world in a light devoid of preciousness--while expressing with heart the integrity of the spiritual work being undertaken. We come away from our visit to this exotic realm having found it both extraordinary and surprisingly familiar. The neuroses, obsessions, and petty concerns exposed by Snow--both in herself and her fellow staff members--prove to be grist for the mill for discovering the grace inherent in life just as it is.… (més)

Snow wrote a pile of essays about her experience in kitchens at a Tibetan Buddhist retreat center and at other times in her life and published them as a book. Some are better than others (I could've done without the dinner theater piece) some sad, some insightful - if you are interested in other peoples insights into themselves (which, sometimes, I am). (

With humor and honesty, Snow recounts her adventures as head
cook at a Tibetan Buddhist retreat center. She shares this world in a light devoid of
preciousness—while expressing with heart the integrity of the spiritual work
being undertaken. We come away from our visit to this exotic realm having found
it both extraordinary and surprisingly familiar. The neuroses, obsessions, and
petty concerns exposed by Snow—both in herself and her fellow staff
members—prove to be grist for the mill for discovering the grace inherent in
life just as it is. (

Kimberley Snow's unique take on life at a Buddhist retreat centre exposes the inner workings of such an institution to be just as familiarly claustrophobic and amusing as any small college or private school. She brings to life what is to most people a mysterious, foreign setting in a way that makes us feel we have been there and met the characters.

Snow has a wandering spirit. Somehow it leads her from work as a professor in a university to a cook in a kitchen to a chef in a monastery. The time she spent in the monastery seemed to help her and, in the end, she seemed a stronger person. (

A series of somewhat disconnected essays about Snow's experiences in a variety of settings, including as a university professor, executive chef, and cook at a Buddhist retreat center. Although there were many stories of interest, Snow's habit of skipping back and forth between times and places left me somewhat confused. She would often reference a person, place, or event, and then explain it many pages later. (
