Description

Easy-to-follow book providing practical information needed to make macrobiotics work for you. 120 palate-pleasing dishes.- By Lisa Turner (1995) 220pp

Healthy food doesn't have to be boring food. With 120 palate-pleasing dishes, Lisa Turner takes the best of macrobiotic principles and adapts them to a Western lifestyle and sense of taste.

From Walnut Sage Pate, Seven-Bean Salad with Creamy Ginger Dressing, Red Lentil Soup with Arame, and Shrimp with Cilantro Walnut Pesto to Berry Peach Tart with Oatmeal, this creative selection of recipes takes you through every course of a gourmet, "mostly macrobiotic" meal.

More than thirty years ago George Ohsawa introduced to the United States the principles of macrobiotics, a diet based on whole grains, vegetables, legumes, and fresh unprocessed foods.

Today the widespread acceptance of this precepts is reflected in mainstream nutritional advice and endorsed by the federal government and most physicians.

While at first glance the traditional macrobiotic regimen may seem exotic and complicated, Lisa Turner summarizes these principles in an easy-to-follow format and then provides the practical information needed to make macrobiotics work for you.

Including tips on how to buy and use natural ingredients, step-by-step details on cooking and cutting techniques, and a month of recommended meal plans.

Also, included are shopping lists, mail-order resources, tips for travelers, and a glossary of terms - all you need to create a full, healthy, and more pleasurable life by following a diet that's not completely, but mostly, macro.
