Summary: Just...okay
Review: I bought this book a few years ago, just because I was trying to adapt a more healthy lifestyle, and for the immense amount of recipes in the book (a lot!). I really don't see how Christina could have possibly tried all of these recipes! The several that I've tried have seemed relatively tasteless and almost inedible! The only reason why I'm giving it 3 stars is because the entire beginning section has some wonderful explanations on macrobiotics and a glossary of some different ingredients that most cooks wouldn't know on their own. As for the recipes, I can honestly say that in my ever growing repertoire of vegan cookbooks, I very rarely refer to this one. If you're looking to go macrobiotic, maybe it would be useful, but if you're a vegan/vegetarian looking at this book because of the number of recipes....don't bother.

Summary: Whole Foods does not = Macrobiotics
Review: I came to this book before I knew anything about macrobiotics, simply because I was looking for a broader spectrum of ways to cook vegetables. I love the recipies in this book, and did even before I started having macrobiotic leanings. I was suprised to note that I already had one of the key cookbooks in the macrobiotic arsenal when I got interested in the subject. Four stars instead of 5 because there is no solid macrobiotic information here, just some hints, Christina's story, and all these terrific recipies.

Summary: This book is very informative and easy-to-follow.
Review: I found this book to be very instructive. There was a lot I didn't know about "microbiotics", which I'm glad I found out! I don't do the cooking in my home (I am blessed with a man who has the passion for cooking), but this book has inspired me to learn how to make healthy, nutritional meals to serve my husband (who is the biggest carnivore I know) and my children. I recommend it to everyone!

Summary: LIKE IT :-)
Review: I have been using this book for over a year. The recipes have a wide range of dishes. From simple to more involved. If these meals can please my picky, "I won't eat health food" family, then it will please anyone.

Summary: Great food that is easy to prepare
Review: I have been using this book for several months after coming off a strict macrobiotic diet. This is now my main cookbook. Once you are comfortable with organic, vegetarian foods nothing in the book seems difficult, or out of place. Since I was not a cook before trying macro, this book has been very helpful in teaching me how to prepare great tasting meals. I would strongly recommend it to anyone who wishes to eat a healthy diet, while not giving up tasty foods. Every recipe that I have used has been good to great.

Summary: Healthful Food that You Could Actually See Eating
Review: I have sampled a number of recipes from this book and been quite happy with them. Many cookbooks offer healthful recipes, but this one, more than most, offers healthful recipes that are actually edible and have some character--mostly Italian. The scope is vegetables plus fish, so it offers an excellent guide for heart patients and those who cook for them.
