This book is great! The miso soup recipe is wonderful, and I'm hooked on the Risi i Bisi!!! It was recommended to me by a friend who modified her diet after being diagnosed with cancer. Being vegetarian, I explored it myself and now it's a staple in my kitchen. Recipes are relatively easy and very tasty.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this book, July 13, 2001

This review is from: The Macrobiotic Brown Rice Cookbook (Paperback)

I'm a vegetarian, not macrobiotic, so perhaps the other person's criticism was valid, but I love this book. There are some very simple but delicious dishes in this book. This is the one I turn to when I don't want to cook something too complicated, but I want somthing healthy and delicious. The soup recipes are some of my favorites from any book, especially the one with corn (add shredded carrot for color, yum). And I also like the writing, not just the recipes.

(The resaon I am looking at the book here at all is because I want to get a copy for a friend of mine as a present.)
