We discovered this fabulous recipe through the photo of it at flickr.com by way opening. Thanks! It makes me want to get hold of a copy of "The Now and Zen Epicure Cookbook," by Miyoko Nishimoto Schinner too, as this recipe originates from there. The method is an approximation of the original apparently.
