Macrobiotics for All Seasons

Book arrived within quoted timescale. Brand new and good price.I have several books on macrobiotics as my interest started due to wanting to investigate alternatives to traditional modern medicine after being diagnosed with Crohns Disease.This is definitely an essential guide to eating macrobiotically and more importantly how to understand balancing your life and diet according to the seasons.The first half of the book is a general guide to macrobiotics but also explains in more depth the concept and ideas of yin and yang. Tara details the benefits of macrobiotics in a completely understandable way and you do not need to be a vegan, vegetarian, hippy etc to see that it really does make sense and we should all start taking an interest and learning more, not just for our own benefit and future health but that of our environment and planet.The recipes work and show it is possible to make delicious food without complicated techniques and an enormous list of ingredients. In addition Tara's recipes include ingredients and combinations more suited to our current modern lifestyles and are more flexible than the earlier Macrobiotic guides i have read. The emphasis, however, stresses the importance af being aware of the seasons and how this affects your body's needs and health and how much better it is to souce and eat local produce.In my opinion an excellent book to inspire and follow and a good addition to my cookery book/macrobiotic library.

I was recommended this book by a friend after hitting a real crisis caused by the food I was eating. I have always been vegetarian but knew that the food I ate such as dairy were causing me grief! I am not a fan of processed foods or meat substitutes so any old vegan cook book was never going to hit the mark.This book is awesome for so many reasons. it explains the philosophy of eating and makes so much sense. in the western world we readily shove any old rubbish in our mouths and most of the time its not even proper food!It has amazingly tasty simple recipes for which I have had absolutely no problem finding any of the ingredients. The food is filling yet light.the recipes are written in a chatty way which I personally find great.the author has so much expertise you know you can trust her.have just ordered two more copies, one for my daughter and one for a friend.

I suffer from chronic pain and have had enough of taking an abundance of medications with horrible side-effects. I have been looking into a more holistic way of dealing with my pain and have been recommended this book by lots or people. After first reading I am actually surprised at how well written and comprehensive this book is. There is lots of knowledge to be gleamed as well as recipes structured for the 4 seasons so I won't have to search for loads of items not in season costing a fortune which have travelled thousands of miles. I am looking forward to cooking the meals and starting to make positive changes.

Not just a recipe book, it has a lot of sensible advice for macrobiotic living too. Divided into seasons so you can easily find the appropriate part to read, and what to eat, at any given time.

Wow! What a life changing book!! Macrobiotics for all seasons has everything you could need to begin, maintain and grow your macrobiotic lifestyle! Full of amazingly easy to follow seasonal recipes ( that also have videos on you tube ) and wonderful home remedies for lots of ailments-you will be wondering what took you so long! Highly recommend by me and repurchased many times as gifts
