Natural cooking recipes developed while living simply in nature

Moon Seong-hee is a natural cooking researcher, a student at the world-renowned Raja Yoga meditation school Brahma Kumaris, and a fasting camp instructor.
He has been the director of a cooking academy for over 20 years, and has been devoted to creating delicious and fancy dishes and setting up fancy tables.
However, I quit cooking school after realizing that the best dishes are those that preserve the original vitality, color, and shape of the ingredients, and that to find such food, you have to go to the field, not the supermarket, and that the cooking process should be minimized.


After that, he settled down at the foot of Cheolmasan Mountain in Busan, started to cultivate a garden, and started to make raw food with grains and vegetables dried in the sun and wind and share it with people.
She held a 'Mountain Concert with a Happy Table' once a year, and in the winter, she lived a simple life, such as sitting with heated stones around her and sewing clothes by hand. She also did not neglect to take care of her body and mind through yoga practice and meditation.
Living in harmony with nature, eating coarse rice, vegetables, and dried raw food, she gradually began to sense the amazing life energy of nature.
My heavy body became lighter, and my consciousness also became clearer.
As I felt the cells in my body changing, I became convinced of the importance of eating foods that retain their natural energy.


From this time on, she began to study natural cooking in earnest.
We created the 'Deulmoe Natural Food Research Institute' and developed natural dishes that save lives. We also signed an agreement with the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology Evaluation and Planning for a new technology incubation project through a technology evaluation of wild herbs such as dandelion, plantain, and wild chives, which are widely used as folk medicines in Korea, and wild herb enzymes (fermented liquid), wild herb tea, various fermented foods, and dried raw foods.
Since then, I have been eating natural food and my eating habits have naturally changed, so I have been making a variety of dishes to suit that.
I started to avoid meat and fish, as well as other spicy foods that disrupt the flow of life energy.
Through this process, we developed many natural dishes that are both delicious and nutritious, including refreshing and delicious medicinal kimchi made without adding any five vegetables such as green onions or garlic, as well as radish nut soup, vegetable palbochae, Indian freshwater fish roe, and noodle course dishes.

Currently, she is providing happy meals to many people through her cooking class, 'Moon Seong-hee's Natural Food Table', and has been consistently holding classes on preparing 'Ethical? Ecological? Natural? Life' meals, 'A Table Filled with Peace' and 'For the Earth' meals with various organizations such as the Consumers' Cooperative, the Korea Federation for Environmental Movements, the Green Life School, and the Women's Environmental Network.

The joy of cooking and the joy of eating will add up, and before you know it, peace will settle in your body and mind, and in your daily life.


Moon Seong-hee's natural cooking is delicious.

Mushrooms, paprika, broccoli, radish, radish greens, potatoes, tomatoes, lotus root, burdock, lettuce, perilla leaves. The ingredients she serves are always similar.
You might think, 'What kind of dishes will she make with such everyday ingredients?' or 'Since the ingredients are similar, won't the variety and taste be the same?' However, those who have actually tried her food are surprised and leave with a smile on their face.
Even people who used to believe that vegetarian food was tasteless easily let go of their prejudices about vegetarianism after encountering Moon Seong-hee's cooking.


Moon Seong-hee's natural cooking is comforting.

When food is this delicious, you can't help but reach for it and eat until you're full.
But there's nothing to worry about.
Many people who have tried her cooking unanimously say, “It’s comforting.”
No matter how delicious it is, if you feel bloated and have indigestion after eating it, you will be more careful about what you eat next time.
However, her food does not contain any animal ingredients that are difficult to digest, does not contain excessive seasoning that puts a strain on the body, and uses the natural energy of the ingredients to the maximum extent, so it is natural that our bodies easily accept and expel them.
When you feel at ease, your mind becomes at peace.
There, you can also feel the joy of rediscovering the sense of taste that you had lost.


Moon Seong-hee's natural cooking is easy

Moon Seong-hee's natural cooking is so simple that anyone can make it.
'1. Wash.
2. Cut with the skin on.
3. Bake.
4. 'Eat' is everything.
Since the skin is used as is and not much oil is used, not only is the cooking process simple, but cleanup is also simple.
Foods that require a lot of work are difficult to make twice or three times, even if you can make them once.
Moon Seong-hee's natural cooking is a dish that is so easy and simple that you'll want to put in the effort, and a dish that is so simple that you can easily adapt it to your own taste.
'Why do we have to eat lotus root, which is so crunchy, only in stews? Isn't there a recipe that lets us experience this crunchy taste?' With this thought in mind, he thinly sliced ​​apples, cucumbers, and lotus root and mixed them with vinegar and raw sugar to make instant pickles. He then grilled mushrooms, pumpkin, and tofu, and then wondered, 'Can't we grill other things too?' So, he grilled radish greens, apples, paprika, cabbage, and dipped them in sauce to make a vegetarian teppanyaki dish.


Her cooking will bring greater joy to those who wave their hands at the thought of cooking, saying they have no cooking skills, or to those who have a busy life and cannot properly prepare meals.
Also, as you make and eat Moon Seong-hee's dishes, which make both the maker and the eater feel like they have become very precious and valuable beings, you will naturally learn what and how to eat and live, what kind of mindset to have when cooking, and how to treat your body.


Moon Seong-hee's natural cooking saves the environment and life.

Moon Seong-hee's natural cooking is delicious, comforting, easy to make, and simple to clean up. It is 'life' itself that saves my body, my mind, and nature.
We only use organically grown ingredients, do not use seasonings processed with harmful additives, and if something is absolutely necessary, we make it ourselves.
Not using too much oil is to preserve the original flavor of the ingredients while protecting the nature that lives with us.
The ten cooking principles she has created for herself are therefore worth deep reflection on.


First, I became a vegetarian because I believe that life is as important to other living beings as it is to humans.

Second, try not to eat processed or imported foods.
Third, while it would be great if you could grow your own food, if you can't, buy fresh ingredients from organic farms, cooperatives, or organic stores.
Fourth, we express our gratitude to nature for providing us with food by not throwing away the skins, seeds, and roots.
Fifth, cook and process food as little as possible.
Eat plenty of fresh raw food, minimize cooking and seasoning when cooking to maximize the fresh flavor of the ingredients, and eat them lightly steamed, grilled, or blanched.

Sixth, instead of simplifying the recipe, use a variety of vegetables in one bowl and mix in five or more different grains of rice.
Do not serve more than two or three side dishes, and try to eat cooked food within thirty-six hours and not leave any food behind.
Seventh, while preparing food, make sure your body and mind are in the best possible state of peace so that the food can be filled with good vibrations.

Eighth, do not eat food from unknown sources or food sold outside.

Ninth, do not eat until your stomach is full.
It allows the organs inside the body to rest without being overworked.
Tenth, we must not forget the hard work of the soil, air, water, and sunlight that allowed the seeds to grow, blossom, and bear fruit.
And then I often send love to those who came back into me and took the form of my body, that is, my body.


She has these principles and sticks to them, sharing the table of life and peace with many people.
You can read her thoughts here and there in this book. Through the kitchenware she uses, such as natural dishcloths, natural detergents, dishcloths, wooden cutting boards, and wooden spoons, and through essays about how we live together with nature and what it means for us to eat and live, you will be able to find new meaning in the act of making and eating.
Now, let's bring Moon Seong-hee's natural cooking to the table, which can save you, your family, and even the planet by making and eating delicious, easy, and comforting food.
