Hardcover

Jeanne Heiberg’s Contemplation and the Art of Saladmaking is a book of fun, philosophy, food, and festivity. By combining fresh thoughts and spiritual insights with an important element of our daily life, it helps to bring beauty, meaning, and significance into our everyday.

Beginning with a thought or an anecdote about a certain theme or idea, each section develops into a meditative treatment of one salad ingredient, and finally presents the recipe itself. Food for the body becomes part of the whole picture of food for the mind, soul, and spirit.

Inner Ecology, the struggle toward wholeness . . . these are Heiberg’s basic concerns, approached with a sense of the joy that can come from meditation as well as from saladmaking.

Jeanne Heiberg is a religious educator, columnist, and artist, as well as the author of spiritual books and a member of the Grail, an international women’s movement with US headquarters in Loveland, Ohio.

“Jeanne Heiberg has here become an artist of food . . .” Trina Paulus

“Contemplation and the Art of Saladmaking is a luscious salad in itself . . .” Frederick Franck
