I am reading this specific book because recommended it and I trust his opinion.
Author just had the standard messianic boilerplate mixed in with good technique.
Will add Roche to my list, though!

I'm very much not here to hear anyone's dreams of universal enlightenment, but that doesn't mean they don't have useful tekne!
It just sucks that they waste my time with these asininities.

I have a hunch there’ll be things in Roche’s work that you find refreshing. He’s a neat dude, interesting backstory. Completely different goals and approach than Cutting Machine. Roche is working much more in the lane of “meditation as nutrition” style, than...

Oh, for sure. I'm so far down the Cutting Machinery rabbit hole now that seeing it all the way through is a top priority, though.

Like I'm not going to get this far through the job and then just say "actually turn the machine off, I'd rather go be a chef!"

Half-joking. I’m not suggesting you go be a chef. (Unless you want to. Being an enlightened chef would be an interesting journey and the world could use a few.)

Leave that one to the Vajrayana guys. Cooking with demons, a primer.

In Soviet Tibet, sometimes demons eat •you•*

I went ahead and ate the demons. This wasn't mentioned in the cookbook, but hey.

Pretty sure the Tibetans would frown upon this, but then I've never been a Tantric Buddhist.
