Your review	I enjoyed not only Dogen's short piece, but Kosho Uchiyama Roshi's various essays about the piece. It can be hard to summarize zen thought in a concise, understandable way, despite it being a very practical philosophy. Kosho Uchiyama Roshi manages to do so and even Dogen's "Instructions for the Zen Cook" is quite accessible in this translation.
