Macrobiotic recipes. I tried a couple of recipes I liked, but I can't really stand the taste of sea vegetables (which are important in macrobiotic cooking, apparently) so a lot of the recipes look gross to me.
This is a good cookbook for healthy ideas, but I don't love all of the flavors so I haven't used it as much. It's based on macrobiotic principles but it's not bland or boring at all.

Some recipes are really good, some just lack a bit in the flavor department. The Tofu Pot Pie is a winner in our house. The cinnamon buns were also a hit when I made them.
Hard to find (or pronounce) not in my price range ingredients along with a palate that doesn't quite match mine. I think it's a good idea, just wasn't turned into a convert.

She has Vegan book too. Interesting very very healthful cooking.

One of my favorite cookbooks. Great recipes!
She talks about how different foods affect your body, digestion, metabolism, blood sugar, etc. It's not boring though. I wasnt able to keep it long enough to try any of the recipes but they definitely look good. I'm especially interested in trying her breads and sweets b/c she bakes without any sugar, butter or eggs. She was a pastry chef before she got into macrobiotics so talks about how "healthy" baked goods usually taste awful and she kept trying recipes until hers tasted good....more
I've been really into reading cookbooks lately. I don't really understand the macrobiotic thing though. some people say it's just eating whole foods. others take it further by saying you only eat what is grown locally. i'm more into the local thing. i made a bunch of recipes and was happy with half. she has encouraged me to use brown rice syrup over other sugars.
TRUST ME, if anyone knows how to heal their lives with food it is Christina! She has an AMAZING cooking show on PBS, look for it on your local tv! SHE'S GREAT, AND INSPIRING! And not only that but eating healthy vegetarian meals saved her life, and it can save your life too!

I have had this book for years . I'll flip through it once in a while but have yet to make a recipe from it that was memorable or that I would make again.
I think I was put off by this book because the author is kind of preachy about the Macrobiotic diet and even claims it cured her of a deathly illness.

Excellent resource! Hundreds of vegan, whole food recipes, along with invaluable information on cooking healthy foods from the familiar to the downright weird. If you want to live vegan, or just get some recipe ideas, this is a good place to start.

Good cookbook but it should be called "Cooking The Macrobiotic Way." I can see how the title can be deceiving. Overall, I like it.
really good clean food that helps your brain! The author is entertaining and engaging.

tough with some hard to find ingredients.
Lots of soy, wheat and other things I would not care to eat. If you eat wheat, soy and corn, you are sure to find some good recipes.
