Del cielo a la mesa

Synopsis of Del cielo a la mesa

«Del cielo a la mesa» is Donald Altman's essay on spirituality and food, published by RBA Libros in hardcover (304 pages, in Spanish).

Food goes far beyond the simple act of nourishing oneself: the spiritual meaning of food and gastronomic feasts runs through the world's cultures. Donald Altman brings together the wisdom of Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims, Jews and Christians and shows which eating habits foster personal development and spiritual harmony.

The work corresponds to volume 26 of the Otros Gastronomía collection. The October 2000 edition has an illustrated dust jacket.

For readers interested in religion, spirituality and well-being, and in how food connects with the traditions of different cultures.
