5 out of 5 stars Excellent macrobiotic cookbook.......2005-10-05

I own multiple macrobiotic cookbooks, and this one is the one I come to time and time again. Learning about the specialty ingredients in macrobiotic cooking is tricky, but once you have found a source of these ingredients, the recipes in this book are simple and tasty.

The thing I like most about this book is the simplicity of the recipes. Most of the recipes call for the same 4-5 cooking styles, with the same 4-5 condiments. Many of the recipes in this book have become staples of my diet.

I am not a 100% practicing macrobiotic, but when I feel the need to eat healthy and lose weight, I always turn to this book as a refresher course to how to eat healthy.

This book is an excellent companion book to "The Macrobiotic Way" by Michio Kuchi. Another book I highly recommend is "The Hip Chick's Guide to Macrobiotics". These three books are used more than any other in my cookbook library.

5 out of 5 stars The authoritative reference on macrobiotic cooking .......2005-02-25

From the teacher herself comes a huge book which distills more than 35 years of macrobiotic cooking and teaching. This book covers everything on the subject, from food preparation prior to cooking (an area most American cooks know little or nothing about) through "Medicinal Cooking and Home Cures."

Menu planning is included to incorporate acid/alkaline balancing which is so critical to the macrobiotic practitioner's path to total health.

I predict that those who study macrobiotic cooking will never again be able to enjoy fast foods such as meat burgers, french fried potatoes, sodas, chips, etc. They will KNOW when food is creating an imbalance and why. They will understand at what point disease kicks in and how to reverse it.

This book is required for all who seek health, harmony, and peace. We develop an appreciation and understanding of the role which whole foods, organically grown and properly prepared, play in our physical, mental, and spiritual health.

I might point out that prescription drugs, refined sugar, artificial sweeteners, dairy, and meats (other than fish) are huge contributors to imbalance and have no part in macrobiotic health. In a diet consisting of 50% whole grains, 25% vegetables, and the remainder made up of beans, sea vegetables, fish, and soups, it is amazing to see how many creative recipes are included in this 414 page book.

Buy it. Everyone needs this education.

2 out of 5 stars Macrobiotic cooking does not necessarily cure cancer.......2003-04-10

I bought Aveline Kushi's "Complete Guide to Macrobiotic Cooking" after reading another book called "Recalled by Life" about a doctor who claimed to have been cured of cancer by following macrobiotics. This book does a good job of explaining macrobiotic cooking, but it is important to note that the author Aveline Kushi died in 2001 from cervical cancer which had spread to her bones. While I do believe that diet can help in the fight against cancer, Ms. Kushi's death makes me wonder whether macrobiotics is the proper diet to follow.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent.......2001-06-03

Proper macrobiotic cooking unlike some other books which mix the pure foods with junk food. So many recipes...very thorough

5 out of 5 stars The Best There Is!.......2000-01-15

Aveline Kushi's COMPLETE GUIDE TO MACROBIOTIC COOKING is the BEST book available of its kind. What distinguishes it from other books on the subject is its emphasis on explaining the philosophy behind the macrobiotic approach to cooking and to eating. In reading the background information, I learned a great deal about the WHYS and HOWS of macrobiotics. With regard to the recipes, they are simple and well-explained. There is a detailed explanation of utensils and of ingredients, as well as of the differences among different food types and their nutritional value. Insights into the health benefits of a macrobiotic way of life are also very well explained.

When I took a brief summer class on macrobiotics, the instructor said that this was the best book on the subject. Five years and about twenty-five books later, I would have to agree with him. This is the book that I ALWAYS come back to, and the one which I buy for my friends.

Another good book on the subject is Kathleen Turner's THE SELF-HEALING COOKBOOK. It was actually the first book I read on macrobiotics, and it was the one that drew my interest to this area, and is now also one which I regularly purchase for my friends who have an interest in this area.

While not totally macrobiotic, the books by Annemarie Colbin are also excellent and address similar cooking/eating topics.

Christina Pirello turned to a whole-foods diet after being diagnosed with terminal leukemia at age 26. To the shock of her doctors, and without any medical treatment, she went into complete remission. She was surprised herself, as she'd been a vegetarian for more than 10 years and wasn't convinced that cutting prepackaged foods, sugar, and dairy from her diet would make that much of a difference to her health.

Pirello says, "Macrobiotics is an understanding that that food is energy, that everything we eat becomes part of us and helps create who we become." With this philosophy in mind, she advises how to plan menus, shop for quality ingredients, and combine foods for optimum energy. She then jumps right into her collection of more than 500 recipes, among them Fresh Corn Chowder, Béchamel Sauce, and Chocolate Hazelnut Torte. They should appeal to entire families; beans, tofu, and sea vegetables do figure prominently in many dishes, but rarely have these much-maligned ingredients sounded so tantalizing. Pirello's sassiness, adventuring spirit, and lust for life are readily apparent in these recipes, and her book should certainly help make the transition to a whole-foods lifestyle a smooth one. --Erica Jorgensen

I cook for my family of four by night and also for a single man by day. Each one of us has our own unique style of eating and various taste buds.

Everyone of us agree the recipes in this book create some fabulous meals. While there is a learning curve on some new fruits, vegetables and grains to use; Christina guides you through the process with a great index and introduction to each section.

If you are truly interested in spending some time learning how to eat Macrobiotically this is the cookbook for you. It is well worth the investment.

4 out of 5 stars Great introduction to Macrobiotic cooking.......2005-10-11

I never knew there was so much to macrobiotic eating. Christina really gives you the information you need and how to get started cooking with these types of foods. It's not hard at all to do and I know it's so much healthier!

5 out of 5 stars Christina is awesome.......2005-08-17

The book is chock full of veggie recipes written as lively as her TV series. The chocolate-hazelnut torte is out of this world!

Book Description


“Food is the chief of all things, the universal medicine. . . . Food transmutes directly into body, mind, and spirit . . . creates our day-to-day health and happiness.”
—from The Macrobiotic Path to Total Health

Even in medical schools, alternative medicine is blossoming. Two thirds of them now offer courses in complementary healing practices, including nutrition. At the heart of this revolution is macrobiotics, a simple, elegant, and delicious way of eating whose health benefits are being confirmed at an impressive rate by researchers around the world.

Macrobiotics is based on the laws of yin and yang—the complementary energies that flow throughout the universe and quicken every cell of our bodies and every morsel of the food we eat. Michio Kushi and Alex Jack, distinguished educators of the macrobiotic way, believe that almost every human ailment from the common cold to cancer can be helped, and often cured, by balancing the flow of energy (the ki) inside us. The most effective way to do this is to eat the right foods, according to our individual day-to-day needs. Now in this marvelous guide, they give us the basics of macrobiotic eating and living, and explain how to use this powerful source of healing to become healthier and happier, to prevent or relieve more than two hundred ailments, conditions, or disorders—both physical and psychological.

This encyclopedic compendium of macrobiotic fundamentals, remedies, menus, and recipes takes into account the newest thinking and evolving practices within the macrobiotic community. The authors integrate all the information into a remarkable A to Z guide to macrobiotic healing—from AIDS, allergies, and arthritis, to cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. They also clearly explain what we need to know to start eating a true macrobiotic diet that will provide us with a complete balance of energy and nutrients.

Living as we all do in environmental and climactic circumstances that are largely outside our personal control, it is vital that we follow a healthy lifestyle, including a flexible diet that we can adjust to meet our own individual needs. The Macrobiotic Path to Total Health gives us precisely the tools and the understanding we need to achieve this goal. Use it to build a strong, active body and a cheerful, resourceful mind.

5 out of 5 stars This is the ultimate health book ever - highly recommended!.......2007-04-05

This is the most comprehensive and most helpful book that I've ever come across with. I have used it for myself, my son, my husband in our day-to-day health conditions (dizzines, fever, cough, cold, poor memory, skin irritations, etc). I was able to use it literally everyday from the day I got it. It gives easy and simple remedies using ingredients that are usually found in one's kitchen - how can you beat that? You don't even have to run to the pharmacy to get well! And you will not have the poisonous side effects of drugs!

5 out of 5 stars Excellent way to view your life and your habbits.......2007-01-15

This book is definitivelly worth reading....
It explains how to view desease, it teaches you how to help yourself, rather than to be just a passive participant.
Our health is in our hands, and we can surely make a difference.

5 out of 5 stars THIS BOOK ROCKS!.......2006-02-07

I cant say enough about the need of the average person in this counrty to get a bit healthier...I do mean to say the average person. I am not trying to push anyones buttons here but far too many of us are far to heavy and out of shape! Can you run around the block? Yeah? Now can you run around that and the next one? Then if so you are probably more of a fit or athlectic person than the avarage guy.

I think I will have to dispute another reviewer, once again, who claims the book is vague. Your joking right? This is the most in depth study I have seen thus far of any microbiotic book i have looked into. It is in no way, shape or fashion vague!

I am going to adress just a fraction of one random page for my audience and I hope it may benefit someone someday.

Then I am going to ask that you look at it the next time you are in a bookstore and see if you find it vague. (Sorry fellow but your review was what I would call vague)

Here is a half page about diagnosis of certain cancers:pg 139

By Michio Kushi:



5.Green around either ankle on the outside of the leg shows developing problems in the bladder, uterus, ovaries, or prostate.

6. Green around the top of the foot in the outside central area, with its area extending to the fourth toe, shows liver or gallbladder problems.

7.Green inside the foot from the outer root of the big toe toward the area below the ankle bone shoes possible malignancies in the spleen or lymphatic system.



Developing tumors may also be indicated by abnormal colors in the whites of the eyes:



1. Dark spots in the upper portion of the white of the eye show calcified deposits in the sinus.

2.Dark spots in the lower white of the eye indicate kidney stones or ovarian cysts.

3.A blue, green, or brown shade or white patches on the whiteof the eye on either side of the iris indicate accumulation of mucus and fat in the liver, gallbladder, spleen or pancreas.

4.A yellow or white coating on the lower part of the eyeball in women shows accumulation of fat and mucus in the ovaries, uterus, vagina, or cervix.

6.A white or gray coating on the lower part of the eyeball in a woman indicates possible vaginal discharges, ovarian cysts, or fibroid tumors.

END of MICHIO KUSHI quote.



The second half of this devided page goes on to explain that cancers are primarily caused by dietary excess...the stages of illness are throughly explained in parts of this incredible and well researched book....nuf' said!



{ I reccomend that one try to stay healthy...because when you lose your health, THAT IS VERY HARD TO RECOVER!}

peace all

5 out of 5 stars A profound and revelatory book.......2005-07-29

To those who understand its significance, this is a profound and revelatory book.

Like all living things, food has energy in it. Macrobiotics is eating according to the energy in food, which allows us unprecedented control over our health.

The "vague" quality the previous reviewer objects to is inherent in Chinese medicine and is in fact one of its greatest strengths, permitting a view of health and disease based on concepts rather than data. (And in fact, the book isn't vague at all--this is just a reflection of her unfamiliarity with the ideas.)

Nor do the authors "mention all types of alternative therapies." For each category of illness, they outline the conventional medical treatment, provide references to medical studies (for those who feel the need for this sort of thing), and then discuss the macrobiotic approach.

The same goes for the comment that "a more specific macrobiotic way of eating would have been nice." This is a highly specific book on how to use macrobiotics to treat over 200 health problems without recourse to the toxic, invasive, and expensive techniques of conventional medicine. Nevertheless, the authors devote over 100 pages to macrobiotic philosophy and practice and another 20 or so to recipes. Anyone who feels the need for more information should investigate the numerous books on the subject by Michio Kushi and others.

As for repetitiveness, this is inevitable in a book intended even for those with no exposure to macrobiotics, because each condition requires modifications of the diet. Rather than giving the basic diet in one place and requiring readers to flip back and forth through the book and put it all together themselves, they've quite reasonably done so for us.

As far as wanting you to "buy more from their website," this 500-page book has a two-page resource list at the end, presumably for those without convenient access to natural-food stores. If that constitutes a shameless hard-sell, I'd like to see more of that attitude in the marketplace.

I've been macrobiotic for over 20 years and find this an extraordinary book, like all Michio Kushi's works. I buy copies and give them away to people I know who are sick, because my two decades of experience with this diet have convinced me that vegetarianism is essential to good health--and if you're going to be a vegetarian, I can't imagine doing it any other way.

5 out of 5 stars very helpful.......2005-11-19

This book is like 3 books in one: one on theories behind macrobiotics, one on healing remedies through healing diets, and also one on key recipes. It's user-friendly layout can be read front to back or you can use the index in the back to look up specific ailments, remedies or concepts. There's also a self-referencing set up in that if a good food or recipe is mentioned in one of the chapters and is written in capitals, that means you can find the recipe in the back of the book. I got this book to simply develop my macro library, and I ended up not only healing a few aches and pains, but trying out a few new recipes that I now love. This book will always stay with me. It's useful to anyone at any stage of their macro adventures!

4 out of 5 stars good but late.......2005-10-03

Book was in great condition, but the seller didn't "see my order" for almost 2 weeks, but then finally sent it. More the fault of not checking email or the notification system or something, otherwise it was great!

5 out of 5 stars Insightful and empowering.......2004-07-02

It isn't written to offer dramatizations or win converts. This is a step-by-step manual for those who seek guidance to healing through macrobiotics. And you don't have to have a "condition" to benefit from the wealth of information found in this book. Use it for deeper understanding of your body's healing potential and see what it can do for you if you care to follow the advice. This book also offers guidelines on cooking and recipes, but buying a good cookbook as a companion will provide you with a well-rounded experience. Go ahead and try it. This is powerful stuff.

4 out of 5 stars great book.......2003-10-20

I recommend this book highly. Only problem I saw with it was that sometimes the organization of the material was a bit confusing and the language seemed like it was written by a non-english speaker.

        I picked this book up at a huge book sale for less than a buck, I think. It has some interesting projects (from a construction theory standpoint) but the majority of the projects are a little too bleeding-edge 70s to be considered by most folks. If you're looking for something to build that won't clash with your green pile carpet, this very well may be the book for you.

                  Book Description

                  Every day of the year, somewhere in the United States, some sort of holiday or special remembrance is being observed by individuals, organizations, or governments. January 30 is Pennsylvanians with Disabilities Day. On March 26, Hawaii celebrates Prince Janah Kuhio Kalanianaole Day. November 9 is set aside for Women Veterans Day in Alaska, while in Puerto Rica they honor baseball scout Pedrin Zorilla, and as the sun sets, New Jersey holds a Kristallnacht Memorial Night.

                  This book is a detailed reference work about holidays and special observances established by statute in the United States, including American Samoa, the District of Columbia, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

                  Because the United States is a member state of the United Nations, U.N.-designated holidays and longer periods of time, such as years and decades devoted to important world issues, are also included. Following the day-by-day section, holidays are listed chronologically within their jurisdictions (federally designated observances are first in the list; states and territories follow in alphabetical order). A subject index offers invaluable aid to those wishing to celebrate a particular topic, such as nursing, education, or peace, while a name index provides swift access to holidays celebrating the lives of individuals.

                  This book has been very helpful to me. I'm always chosen to do something with a church program. This book has helped me with greeting, prayers, and occasions for every type of church program. This is a very resourceful book to have especially if you are involved in church programs as I am. I recommend this book, but in the future write things more general. I use this book a lot.

                      2 out of 5 stars I thought it would go in little deeper on all the BIG hollidays.......2007-08-09

                      I bought this book becouse I am not a american, and I wanted to read and learn a little bit of the american holidays and special days. They take up a lot of different hollidays in this book, but they do not get in the deepth. I wich they would write in the beginning wich days are the biggest and that most american are celebrate, and on wich ones the americans are off from work, but they do not, so it is confusing! And I would also wich for a nicer look on the book with lot of nice collored pictures, in this one there are only black and white ones, not fun at all!!

                      I would recomend you to bye a diffrent book!
