Rating : - nice idea....nicer food
I really have used and enjoyed this cookbook thoroughly. This is my second macrobiotic cookbook. Though I'm not eating a 100% macrobiotic diet I still appreciate the principals and ideas associated with the concept. The philosophies are laid out in the beginning of the book.

The book is formatted by the seasons. It gives three menus for each meal of the day for seven days per season. Some of the recipes repeat itself; however, they are usually staples of a macrobiotic diet anyway.

The only thing that may frustrate someone new to macrobiotics or this book is that it requires some ingredients that will need be hunted for. Most health food stores and oriental grocers will have what is needed. One thing worth mentioning about macrobiotics and the recipe book is that the food is extremely affordable.
