4.0 out of 5 stars Very easy to read and most enjoyably to the point., February 11, 1999

By A Customer

If you want to learn what Macrobiotic cooking is all about...this is the book! Very easy to read. Takes you step-by-step on "HOW" to cook and "HOW" to prepare food with a pressure cooker and the importance of such a utensil. Wonderful recipes. Very basic, very good. Perfect introduction to the lifestyle!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for busy people, June 13, 2001

By	Michelle (York, NorthYorkshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

Perfect ideas for maintianing macrobiotics if you have little energy (eg you are ill) or you are very busy & cannot do a gourmet meal every night as Aveline Kushi has on the menus in her glossaries!!! If you know any other good books like this ... Thanks

5.0 out of 5 stars A cookbook that inspires your own creativity, November 5, 2003

By	"ears@alumni.brown.edu" (Sudbury, MA United States) - See all my reviews

This book does NOT list recipes for specific dishes. Instead, it lists cooking procedures. So you need ideas for a pie filling? Turn to "Pie Fillings" and look at Ferre's basic procedure and examples. You think you want to pickle all those cukes your garden yielded? Turn to "Pickles" and see all the options--brine pickles, pressed pickles, salt pickles....This book tells you how to do what you want to do and gives you tasty examples. All you have to do is take it from there. It's a great reference for any whole foods cook, not only for people interested in macrobiotics.

I am about to purchase my third copy of this book, I use it so often.

My wish list for the next edition, if there is one: looseleaf binding; "Notes" pages in each section.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great start
This book while containing some theory, does not contain exclusively theory (which many books I've read on macrobiotics does). Instead she concentrates on application. Read more
