 The best macrobiotic cooking book written ( haroldglen )
This book, with its yellow frayed pages, is still in our kitchen. The one I have is copyrighted 1985, so it is nearly a quarter of a century old. I bought this book a couple of years before I went to Becket, MA, to attend week-long seminars presented by Michio Kushi in the late 1980s. There have been many more such cookbooks written since then, but IMO none are better than this one. Alex Jack and the late Aveline Kushi did an excellent job with both the recipies and explaining the philosophy of macrobiotics in this book.
I still refer to this book regularly when I cook something new or when I need to be reminded of certain ingredients in a dish I have not made in a long time. I suppose I should buy another one that is in better condition, but mine holds sentimental value, because it reminds me of a prior period in my life. My diet is not as strict as it was in the 1980s, but it is still based on these principles. For anyone who is considering beginning a macrobiotic diet; a semi-macrobiotic diet; or just an improved healthy diet; I wholeheartedly recommend this book. The recipies are presented clearly; there are variations or options to many of the recipies presented; and the reasons behind the recipies are often given. My edition is 414 pages, so it is a great reference.
This book was instrumental in many people successfully changing their diets from an unhealthy diet to one that results in clean arteries; low cholesterol and triglycerides; and vitality. Dr. Colin Campbell's recent best selling book, The China Study, which scientifically proves the benefits of a similar diet, demonstrates that the macrobiotic diet is valid and it was ahead of its time when this cookbook was written.

Aveline Kushi's Guide to Macrobiotic Cooking ( contented3 )
I love to cook, and I love to read about cooking. This book is one of the "root" cookbooks of a kitchen. This is a cookbook that combines health, mindfulness and eating. It is very helpful to understand the reasons behind macrobiotic practices, and the balances that help us feel really great!

A Must Have for health concious families.
This is the most useful book I've ever purchased! I never learned how to cook before and never bought a cookbook either, but this has made me come to know the value of the text by a author with so much love for food, health, and human kind.

Excellent macrobiotic cookbook ( cynthiab8s )
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.
