Macrobiotics is a healthy, nature-friendly way of life based on a diet of whole grains, vegetables, and beans. People all over the world, including many Hollywood stars, have embraced a macrobiotic diet because of its health benefits including higher energy, beautiful skin, a tranquil mind, and a greater sense of connection with the universe. Mayumi's unique style of cooking is healthful, intuitive, and easy to stick with. She draws her inspiration not only from Japanese food, which she grew up eating, but also from Chinese, French, Italian, and other cuisines, as well as from macrobiotic traditions. Above all, though, she believes that enjoyment is the key to sustaining healthy eating habits, and she offers more than 130 recipes for a wide variety of dishes including soups, pastas, brown rice, grain, and bean dishes, even party foods and desserts. The centerpiece of Mayumi's Kitchen is her ten-day detox diet, followed by meal-planning tips and the recipes, all lavishly illustrated with color photos. Mayumi also explains unfamiliar techniques with step-by-step pictures and discusses nutritional value and energy quality. A perfect introduction for beginners, Mayumi's Kitchen will be welcomed by lifelong macrobiotic practitioners as well. "Not only are you the best chef in the world...your amazing food helped me to be a happier, healthier person, balanced in body and mind." — Madonna (from the Preface) "Mayumi makes beautiful, energizing food, which I have been lucky enough to enjoy many times over the years. I am thrilled that now everyone can have a chance to experience the effects of her meals, which are as healing and healthy as one can get!" — Gwyneth Paltrow "When people think of macrobiotics, they think of healing and recovery, but they rarely think of gorgeous, yummy food. Mayumi's Kitchen changes all that." — Christina Pirello, Emmy Award-winning host of Christina Cooks on national public television and best-selling cookbook author "Mayumi has long been one of my favorite chefs in the world-her cooking is infused with love, joy, and the spirit of a true artist. So it's no surprise to me that this wonderful book is as inviting as her food-gorgeous, friendly, and welcoming." — Jessica Porter, author, The Hip Chick's Guide to Macrobiotics "In this book and its recipes, Mayumi captures the beauty and spirit of macrobiotics and natural foods cuisine. She has inspired many toward a healthful lifestyle, and will continue to do so with this wonderful book." — Dr. Lawrence Haruo Kushi, nutritional epidemiologist "With years of innovative experience, Mayumi Nishimura brings food to life with a balanced sense of taste, color, and good nutrition. The recipes and artistic photography in Mayumi's Kitchen are sure to make your mouth water and your lips quiver! This is whole food kitchen inspiration at its best." — Verne Varona, author, Macrobiotics for Dummies Review: Excellent illustrated cookbook from a master of macrobiotic cooking - There are so many photos in this cookbook! Also, the salad dressings are simplistic and delicious. I lent my last copy to a friend a didn’t get it back when she moved out-of-state (it happens), so I ordered a second copy, as I could not go without one in my kitchen. To note: Mayumi was formerly the personal chef for Madonna for some time, for what that is worth. The bonus feature of simple detox plans for those wishing to get started with plant-based eating or for those wishing to dive right in are also a nice touch. Aaaand... the recipes are just delicious! Mayumi has presented what I would consider to be one of the best primer books for people looking to eat more plant-based foods or just to eat more health-consciously in general. This book will inspire you and bring your happiness in the kitchen. Highly recommended! Review: A perfect Cook Book! - I have heard many times brown rice is good, so I have been eating it almost 10 years. Compared to white rice, it is not tasty as I grew up eating steamy white rice so many years. At first I lost interest in eating. But now I cook brown rice with carrots, edamame, or daikon, and it taste better. I read before that an American physician, Dr. Anthony J. Sattilaro, who was the President of Philadelphia Methodist Hospital, ate bacon and steak all the time and developed a deadly cancer. He was told he would die in a year or so. Then he learned about a Macrobiotic diet from a hitch hiker. He said, "Cancer is easy to treat. You must change your bad blood to good through diet. Brown rice is the hardiest vegetable, full of energy and nutrients. People eat wrong food that is why they become cancer. The physician ate faithfully, according to the Macrobiotic diet menu for one year. Even he went to parities, he brought brown rice balls. After a year, he became cancer free. After I read the book, titled "Recalled by Life" by Anthony J. Sattilaro with Tom Monte, I was interested in Macrobiotic diet. Then I found "Mayumi's Kitchen--Macrobiotic Cooking for Body and Soul," at a library. It says, "Macrobiotic is a balanced way of eating; it means consuming the foods humans need in order to live in harmony with nature and the universe." Mayumi uses brown rice, vegetables, fruit, a lot of beans, tofu, konbu, dried mushrooms and fish that are very familiar to me. I cooked a few dishes such as Pan-Fried Chickpea-Millet cakes, Soba Salad with Asian-Style Dressing, Chirashi sushi, Avocado Rolls, Steamed Vegetables and miso soup. They are good and I felt more energy. As I haven't eaten meat since I was 7, I didn't have a lot of energy like a meat eater. But I discovered that chick peas satisfied my energy level and fill me up. I also like this cook book because Mayumi cooks for one or two people. As I live alone, I don't like too much left over. I want to eat fresh as possible. Each picture is so beautiful that it gives me a good appetite and Mayumi explains how to cook very easily. Mayumi recommends having a pressure cooker so I ordered it. When I get it, I can cook many other recipes faster and easier. I am going to use this cook book and the pressure cooker the rest of my life. This is the perfect cook book for me. I give Mayumi Nishimura a million thanks. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,362,556 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #491 in Japanese Cooking, Food & Wine #911 in Whole Foods Diets #1,487 in Organic Cooking | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 113 Reviews | ## Images ![Mayumi's Kitchen: Macrobiotic Cooking for Body and Soul - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71SxbHtjdUL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent illustrated cookbook from a master of macrobiotic cooking *by L***. on July 22, 2019* There are so many photos in this cookbook!
