Flat Rock Inn Cookbook: Biscuits in the Oven Book

Several years ago, during an unemployed summer and a series of unfortunate events, I came across the handy book, Instructions to the Cook. Zen Buddhists running a high end bakery, having an exclusive contract with Ben & Jerry's ice cream and taking the downtrodden off the streets and giving their life purpose through meditation and baking brownies?

While that book was more a guide on how mindfulness and service to others can nourish our spirit and community, the cook book reveals the Zen simplicity of beautiful and delicious recipes accompanied with gorgeous photos of the end product.

The recipes are elegant, rich in flavor and low on complex ingredients and tools needed. It's a meditation in the kitchen. Three words: Lemon Steamed Cakelets. Mmmm.
