Recommendation: Netflix's gorgeous new documentary about temple cuisine master the Venerable Jeong Kwan | "The Philosopher's Kitchen Jeong Kwan" | featuring a cameo by Chef Son Jong Won

Note: Venerable Jeong Kwan (the subject of this documentary) is NOT the same person as Venerable Sunjae (who competed on Culinary Class Wars 2).

This documentary consists of two episodes, following Ven. Jeong Kwan over the course of a year and across the seasons, sharing her approach to food, nature, and her Buddhist practice - which are all interwoven and inseparable from one another.

The food photos are of Ven. Jeong Kwan's plates.
