The New Laurel’s Kitchen includes plenty of simple, beat-the-clock recipes - who doesn’t need them? But it refuses to blur the distinction between natural foods and fast foods. If you need forty-five minutes to bake a potato or cook brown rice, fine. That’s good, solid wind-down time, precious in today’s hurried world: time to cut up green beans, or prepare a cauliflower curry; time for the children to dry the lettuce and help make an Appley Bread Pudding. Laurel’s kitchen has its own pace - a human pace, that lets other things happen besides just dinner. Good health is the first concern here, and foods that support it are rendered irresistible: dishes like Mushrooms Petaluma, Poppyseed Noodles, Lazy Pirogi, and Sebastapol Pizza. These are well-tested and innately manageable recipes, homespun, but with a generous splash of the sophistication that has swept the food world in recent years.

About Carol L. Flinders
Author Web Link: http://www.easwaran.org/
Carol Lee Flinders received a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature from the University of California at Berkeley, specializing in medieval studies. She then spent fifteen years writing about natural foods, co-authoring the popular Laurel’s Kitchen cookbooks and posting a weekly syndicated newspaper column.
In 1990 she returned to her field of study and wrote Enduring Grace: Living Portraits of Seven Women Mystics. Subsequent books include At the Root of This Longing: Reconciling a Spiritual Hunger and a Feminist Thirst and, most recently, Rebalancing the World. Dr. Flinders has taught courses in mystical literature at UC, Berkeley, and at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley. She is currently a Fellow of the Spirituality and Health Institute, Santa Clara University.
Carol’s next book is called Enduring Lives: Living Portraits of Women of Faith In Action, and it profiles four contemporary women that she believes live and work in the “spiritual mother-line” of women like Saint Teresa of Avila and Saint Catherine of Genoa. It will be published by Putnam/Tarcher in Spring, 2006.
Carol lives in Northern California at the Blue Mountain Center of Meditation with her husband, Tim, with whom she co-authored The Making of a Teacher.
