This book is a great introduction to the various foods that are eaten according to Macrobiotic principles, in plain English. Each of the basic foods is described, along with handling and preparation information. I am looking forward to trying some of the desserts! I was worried that this style of eating would be very limiting and dull but this book dispels that idea with the variety of meals it presents.

Unlike most cookbooks for vegetarians or health concious folks the American Macrobiotic Cookbook is full of good information, as well as delicious recipes. The illustrations are complimentary to the style of writing and it's an all around good introduction to macrobiotic cooking.

This book has some interesting recipes and discussion, but it is filled with lots of pictures, theory and concepts. I was only looking for a cookbook, hence the 3 stars.

Boring. recipies arent that great. If you want to do macrobiotic get a different cookbook or just load up with grains on your own. This book is not great and has many seemingly "hand drawn" pictures. I like to see color pictures of food. Call me a first grader but it makes me interested in what I am making. This is the farthest thing from intersting or delicious.
