Modern-Day Macrobiotics: Transform Your Diet and Feed Your Mind, Body and Spirit Review
I purchased this book after my doctor recommended I look into a macrobiotic diet to help balance my hormones. I spent time at a macrobiotic restaurant that has a small collection of books that they sell first, browsing through the various options. This one really jumped out at me, for a couple of reasons:
1) I did not grow up cooking American or European food. I learned how to cook based on Indian cuisine, and that is the type of food my family and I eat at home most of the time. This book teaches you the principles of macrobiotic cooking in such a way that you can adopt it to whatever cuisine is most familiar and comfortable for you. It's made it easier for me to adapt to this way of eating, since the flavor of my food is satisfying, but the content of it is better for me.
2) I liked out way information about macrobiotics was presented. The layout of the information is very clean and easy to understand. Symbols for the different qualities of food make it easy to remember the principles, and it's much easier to absorb the material when you don't have to read textbook-like pages.
3) The pictures of the food are appealing. At the end of the day, it's a cookbook and I want to feel like the food I make is going to be appetizing and presentable.
4) Simon Brown's writing style is educational, warm and inviting. I think anyone who reads this book as an introduction to macrobiotics will get a good start, and will certainly learn enough to be dangerous.
I'm really happy I got it, and I'm even happier that I am using the principles and recipes in the book. My husband is eating this way with me, and he's not going hungry, and neither am I. In fact, I started feeling better after 3 days, which is so encouraging. I think this is a must read for anyone who wants to learn the principles of macrobiotics and wants a simple way to enhance their diet, especially if you don't want to feel pressured or overwhelmed or intimidated.
Enjoy!
P.S. The Noodles recipe is awesome!
