About this title

Synopsis

Explains the principles behind the macrobiotic diet and how they are applied to healthy eating, and includes recipes and menu plans

From the Back Cover

Here is a refreshingly different way of looking at life which promises great rewards.

Macrobiotics is about balance and harmony, and the creation of health and happiness. It is based on an understanding of the ancient unifying principles of 'yin' and 'yang' – two opposing qualities which, when inter-related, complement each other and create a balanced whole.

This 'yin-yang' balance lies at the heart of the macrobiotic way of cooking and eating, and in this clear and practical introduction to the subject the author explains the philosophy of macrobiotics, the relative quality of foods, the best methods of cooking and how to design a balanced macrobiotic diet.

There is also a section on how to begin eating macrobiotically – including advice on cooking for children – and this is supported by an extensive range of recipes and menu suggestions.
