Jenny has been a professional chef since 2010, and most recently has been the Head Chef at the Riverside Café in Lower Moutere. Prior to that, she has worked as Chef at several retreat centres worldwide, including Jamyang (UK), The Abbey (UK), Mahamudra (NZ), Mana (NZ), Chenrezig Institute (Oz) and Chandrakirti (NZ). Jenny has been studying and practicing the dharma since 2007. Her passions came together when she found the Zen Priest and Chef Edward Espe Brown who teaches the dharma through the practice and art of cooking, based on the teachings of the Zen Master Dogen (1200-1253). She writes about her cooking and dharma adventures on the blog CookingForAwakening.net.
