Jikai Vicki Turay gives a talk on chapters 3 and 4 of Uchiyama Roshi's commentary on Dogen's Instructions to the Cook.

Cooking is not a distraction from the more serious pursuit of meditation but rather an entry way to a deeper understanding of how our minds are intimately connected to all phenomena and to one’s buddha nature.
