In "Cooking with Spirits for the Spirit: A Meditative Approach to Cooking" (published by iUniverse) , author Janet Hall Svisdahl's new cookbook, readers are transported into the world of delectable world recipes sure to make even the pickiest eater drool.

Found within the 364 pages of "Cooking with Spirits for the Spirit" are a wide range of delicious recipes, from fast and simple to gourmet. Each recipe greets the reader - and soon-to-be chef - with a different taste and look, because every recipe was gathered internationally from her family and friends.

"Prose meant for meditative exercise is scattered throughout for the mind and spirit, intoxicating wisdom from great visionaries, wistful poets, renowned presidents and universal religious leaders."

Svisdahl has gone to great lengths to ensure the reader can easily find what they wish to make by giving each section (i.e. cocktails, desserts, sandwiches, etc.) its own table of contents. The book includes a beer and wine guide, four complete holiday dinners, metric and imperial measurements, how to meditate, 17 important things to remember in life and signs and symptoms of inner peace. Anyone, chef or casual connoisseur, will find something they can get excited about in "Cooking with Spirits for the Spirit." If nothing else, they will get a great meal.
