Temple food is a meal eaten by monks and nuns in temples.
However, it does not just mean food. Still, it means appreciating
the sincerity of everyone who worked hard until the meal was made,
considering the entire process from growing the ingredients to
making food as practicing the teachings of Buddha and cultivating
oneself.
In addition, Temple food is currently being recognized as a new
alternative food at a time when the climate crisis intimidates the
future of humanity. Temple food is full of wisdom for a sustainable
life because it includes ingredients harvested through eco-friendly
cultivation, a low-carbon diet that does not use meat, a recipe
that utilizes all ingredients, and a way of meal service, called
"Barugongyang," which drinks the water after pouring it into a bowl
("Baru") and wiping.
For these reasons, the world has a keen interest in Temple food.
It is being introduced as a "taste of Korea" around the world. In
addition, Buddhist nun chef Jeong
Kwan, who received global attention with the Netflix series
"Chef's Table," had a Barugongyang workshop and demonstrated Temple
food at the fifth "Encounter with Korean Traditional Buddhist
Culture" held in New York City in
August 2022. She delivered Buddhist
values for nature and the environment at the event, drawing
favorable reviews from New Yorkers.
Temple food is also popular among those dreaming of becoming
chefs. In May this year, the Cultural Corps of Korean Buddhism
signed an agreement with the Le Cordon Bleu and the Korean Cultural
Center in France for Korean Temple
food education, followed by a special lecture and tasting of Temple
food.
Le Cordon Bleu London included Korean Temple food as a regular
feature of the Diploma in Plant-Based Culinary Arts in 2021. The
special classes on Temple food have been made at many schools,
including Nantes Bougainville Cooking School in France and UC
Berkeley in United states. The number of people who want to learn
Temple food is also growing.
If you plan to visit Korea, you can easily experience and taste
Temple food in Seoul. You can just
visit the Korean Temple Food Center in Insa-dong, one of
the tourist attractions, and take the one-day class "Let's learn
Korean Temple food" in English every Saturday morning.
If it is not easy to find time, it is also good to
visit Balwoo Gongyang, the restaurant where you can taste
Temple food course meal. This restaurant won Michelin 1 Star for
three consecutive years and used seasonal ingredients. If you want
to fill your empty body and mind with sincere food in autumn, how
about visiting Korea?
