Book Reviews of Aveline Kushi's Complete Guide to Macrobiotic Cooking: For Health, Harmony, and Peace
Book Review: The best macrobiotic cooking book written
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
