Product Description

Review


"The concept of following a macrobiotic diet might sound daunting, but Nishimura -- who worked as Madonna's private chef for seven years (and had her former boss write a foreword for this book) -- breaks it down into simple, can-do steps and recipes." --Publishers Weekly


"Want to eat like Madonna? Pick up a copy of 'Mayumi's Kitchen.'" --The Boston Herald


the book brims with easy, Japanese-style recipes that follow the principles of macrobiotics, a way of eating intended to boost energy, clear the skin and mind, and foster a deep connection with the Earth. --VIV Magazine


"Madonna's longtime macrobiotic chef puts a cosmopolitan spin on healthy eating in her newest cookbook." --The Maui News


Product Description

Mayumi Nishimura, one of Japan's best-kept secrets, has worked as Madonna's macrobiotic chef since 2001. In "Mayumi's Kitchen", her first book in English, she shares her repertoire of healthy, delicious recipes, starting with a 10-day meal plan for those wishing to try out the macrobiotic diet. Each meal is explained in terms of its health benefits, and unfamiliar cooking techniques are made clear with step-by-step photos. Following Mayumi's 10-day menu is a series of additional recipes and ideas for designing meals. Each dish has been stylishly photographed in full colour, making it easy to understand at a glance. Beginners and life-long macro practitioners alike will enjoy these dishes, as they are good for the mind and body, and easy to make. With over 100 recipes, an appendix explaining the basic principles of macrobiotics, and a glossary of ingredients, "Mayumi's Kitchen" is the perfect introduction to an ancient diet that has seen a surging in popularity.

By Green Book Addict Librarian TOP 1000 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Hardcover
This may well be the best macrobiotic cookbook I've ever seen, and I have several of them. Mayumi was Madonna's personal chef for several years and this is her first cookbook. Macrobiotic diets are quite often given to cancer patients and others with serious illness and it's mainly based around Japanese style of cooking grains, vegetables and beans, though nothing is really excluded. They do allow fish and other animal proteins in moderation if you really have to. This book in fact has a couple of fish recipes which stops it from being a vegan cookbook, but take those away and it's basically vegan. However, what she has done in addition to the usual Japanese influence over the food, is to macrobioticize (is that even a word?) some western type dishes as well. So there is a recipe in there for pizza, spring rolls, a really fantastic looking fruit flan, brownies, pasta etc. Lots of salad ideas, lots of soups, and best of all, lots of pictures! I hate cookbooks with no pictures. This one has loads. It also tells you how to make the basics, lots of sauces, the best way to smoke tofu, make tofu cheese etc and again pictures of practically everything mentioned. I'm really very impressed and excited about this book. (I don't know why but there are a few weird typos in the book too, like words or half a sentence missing, like someone's fingers slipped on the word processor, very odd but doesn't detract from the awesomeness of this book, although I would prefer an edited copy with no omissions and typos just to satisfy my OCD)

ok but 16 Dec 2010
Format:Hardcover
would I say buy this book? no I would say borrow it first there are plenty of pictures and it seems all well and good until you have to really hunt for the ingredients and you would then need to work out when you will be preparing as you don't want to waste left over prep food. That said the food does taste good but it didn't really make me think 'wow that was good'. Go to your local library and try before you buy.
