Book Description

July 1, 2000


• Acclaimed stage and screen actor Keith Michell delivers a cookbook filled with the fabulous recipes that keep him healthy, active, and in the spotlight.


• Includes over 200 recipes, many appearing for the first time, as well as seasonal menu suggestions.


• Answers the questions that too often obscure macrobiotic practices.


• Revised, expanded, and newly illustrated edition of Practically Macrobiotic.


In the latest edition of this unique cookbook, internationally acclaimed actor Keith Michell draws aside the curtain of mystery that too often obscures macrobiotics. With an inimitable and entertaining style, Michell shows that being practically macrobiotic doesn't have to mean a life of food denial and strict diets, but instead can provide a way to enjoy eating heathily from the vast variety of foods that nature supplies.

With the understanding of someone who has taken to heart a new way of life, Keith Michell explains just what macrobiotics is all about. He has painstakingly sought answers to the many questions commonly asked about the macrobiotic diet. Practically macrobiotic in both senses of the expression, Michell is able to offer us refreshing and appealing explanations of the principles behind this lifestyle and way of eating. With over 200 delicious recipes--many of them appearing here for the first time--and original color illustrations by the author himself, Keith Michell's Practically Macrobiotic Cookbook gives full creative expression to a man who is always a star, whether on stage or in the kitchen.

5.0 out of 5 stars I use this book constantly!, August 12, 2002
By 
Gloria Morrell (Fleetwood, PA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Keith Michell's Practically Macrobiotic Cookbook (Paperback)
I have been off and on macrobiotic for years but sometimes just want more variety in my eating. This cookbook offers a bit more in the way of spices and jazzing up food than the traditional macro cookbooks I own. I appreciate the fact that he has a small section with a suggested list of seasonal daily menus so that I don't have to constantly come up with a balanced yin-yang meal on my own. The recipes are wonderful.There are recipes that I can barely read anymore, as I have made them so often and they are totally disfigured with blobs of tamari and other ingredients. If you like to eat simply and healthy with lots of variety, but still want to stick with the macrobiotic principles, this book is well worth getting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book in itself, June 12, 2010
By 
Rita Mcguire (Point Arena, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Keith Michell's Practically Macrobiotic Cookbook (Paperback)
I recently read Alicia Silverstone's book, The Kind Diet, in which she follows a vegan/macrobiotic diet. Already being vegan a short time, I wanted to know more about the macrobiotic part and am very pleased I purchased this book. It really explains what macrobiotics is and explains how & why to develop a healthy diet along with a lot of good recipes.

I'd previously tried to stay away from all grains & ate just meats & vegetables, no fruit but I could not control my Diabetes type II. Keith Michell's Practically Macrobiotic Cookbook really works for me. I feel healthier with blood sugar levels pretty much under control. And, I already LOVED brown rice so it works great for me.

By A Customer
This review is from: Keith Michell's Practically Macrobiotic Cookbook (Paperback)
Anything Keith Michell writes or does is fine with me. After all, who can argue with Henry VIII? Handsome, youthful and still going strong, he must be doing something right. Maybe his role as the progressively aging, fat and unattractive Henry put him on the course for staying trim and vigorous into his 70s. I can't wait to read it!
