Amazon.com Review
Christina Pirello turned to a whole-foods diet after being diagnosed with terminal leukemia at age 26. To the shock of her doctors, and without any medical treatment, she went into complete remission. She was surprised herself, as she'd been a vegetarian for more than 10 years and wasn't convinced that cutting prepackaged foods, sugar, and dairy from her diet would make that much of a difference to her health. Pirello says, "Macrobiotics is an understanding that that food is energy, that everything we eat becomes part of us and helps create who we become." With this philosophy in mind, she advises how to plan menus, shop for quality ingredients, and combine foods for optimum energy. She then jumps right into her collection of more than 500 recipes, among them Fresh Corn Chowder, Béchamel Sauce, and Chocolate Hazelnut Torte. They should appeal to entire families; beans, tofu, and sea vegetables do figure prominently in many dishes, but rarely have these much-maligned ingredients sounded so tantalizing. Pirello's sassiness, adventuring spirit, and lust for life are readily apparent in these recipes, and her book should certainly help make the transition to a whole-foods lifestyle a smooth one. --Erica Jorgensen

 Underwhelmed, 2008-03-18
I bought this book because I am interested in cooking healthier and eating less meat. I wanted some ideas and good recipes I could incorporate into my family's lifestyle. I tried several recipes in this book, and I did not like any of them.
One of the recipes, "Tempeh-stuffed cabbage rolls" were so bad that my husband and I threw them directly into the garbage. I am a great cook and my friends and family agree. I have never had so many kitchen disasters in my entire life as when I used the recipes in this book.
I do not recommend this book. It makes cooking a chore and the result is barely edible.

 Get this one!, 2008-02-10

YUMMY, FUN, GOOD ENERGY She has a recipe of 3 for almost everything healthy in the grocery store. A friend bought wakame and couldn't really find a cookbook with even 1 recipe for it. This book has THREE! Maybe more! And... they are extremely delicious, and easy! All of my friends get this book from me. Enjoy!

#1 Macrobiotic Cookbook, 2007-12-29
Admittedly, I purchased this because of the 'Coco Locos' recipe (yummy!). However, I've this more instructive than the average recipe book. Along with the glossary at the beginning, each food category chapter begins with extremely useful information. Especially, for the novice whole food cook. Ms. Pirello has a light humerous way of teaching how various foods actually work, as well as making them tasty.
