内容説明
Macrobiotics--the healthy, nature-friendly way of life based on a diet of whole grains, vegetables, and beans--is now a global phenomenon. In recent years a number of Hollywood stars have taken up the macrobiotic diet because of its many benefits, which include higher energy levels, beautiful skin, a tranquil mind, and a greater sense of connection with the universe. In Mayumi's Kitchen, the woman who worked for seven years as Madonna's private macrobiotic chef shares with the world her dazzling recipes.
Mayumi Nishimura'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 any number of other world cuisines, as well as from macrobiotic traditions. She believes that enjoyment, above all, is the key to sustainable healthy eating, and that means adapting her cooking to cosmopolitan tastes. The reader will thus discover in her book a number of familiar-looking dishes prepared with macrobiotic as well as more conventional ingredients, in both Western and non-Western styles.
The centerpiece of Mayumi's Kitchen is her ten-day detox diet. Here readers can enjoy a macrobiotic menu that will transform them from the inside out. Following this are meal-planning tips and recipes for more than fifty dishes, including such favorites as Salmon Soup, Avocado Rolls, Vegetable Lasagna, and Seitan Pot Stickers. There is even a party-food section with recipes for spring rolls, tempura, pizza, and more.
In all, Mayumi introduces more than 130 mouthwatering recipes, all lavishly illustrated with color photographs. Many are explained in terms of their nutritional value or energy quality, and unfamiliar techniques are made clear with step-by-step pictures. For beginners and lifelong macrobiotic practitioners alike, these dishes will wow and delight.

プチマクロで美人ご飯を気に入ったのでこちらも購入
英語なので洋食なメニューが中心かと思って購入しましたが肩透かし(*_*) コーンを茹でただけのメニューって写真とレシピ要る?と疑問が……… 10日間ダイエットメニューが基本です 和食のマクロ中心なので外国人の方のマクロの本を買えばよかったなぁと後悔
外国人の友達にあげることにしました 和食の紹介になります
また お値段が張ってるので レシピ数にも期待してましたが 半額で買える日本のレシピ本より少ない気が………
アメリカでよく見かける分厚いハードカバーです。だから高いのか?

I am not an expert on macrobiotics, so let me place that disclaimer up front and center. I pre-ordered this book, and just got it yesterday. For the size of this book, there is much to love. The recipes are straightforward, and for the most part do not require ingredients too awfully obscure. There is a particular grain that I would probably have to mail order for (although she does offer substitutes), but the rest of the lists include things I usually have on hand as someone who has already started delving into this way of eating. (Ume plum vinegar, daikon, greens, sesame oils, etc.) I'm excited to try so many of the recipes - the spring rolls, "ja-ja" tofu, salmon soup, the noodle dishes, pressed salads, nori rolls ... I wish I had the book here with me; I could be more specific! You won't find in-depth macrobiotic theory here, for which I'm grateful. If you want to really learn the theory of macrobiotics, I'd recommend Macrobiotics for Dummies, or one of Simon Brown's books on the subject.
Here, you find a book that tells a bit about Mayumi and her story, which is nice, but mostly, it's packed with recipes. There are helpful color photos everywhere - of the finished dishes, dishes being prepared, step-by-step instructions, and a lot more. I love the way the sauces/dressings are organized and laid out. First, a double page with a small overhead shot of each sauce, and a description of it and the many ways you can use it. Next page, you'll find the recipes. She's got a nice detox plan in here, as well. I really like how she makes use of leftovers in these menus. No waste, and the food gets used quickly, for optimum nutrition. Some of the recipes are similar to those in other macrobiotics books I own (these are simply mainstays in macrobiotics, such as pressed salads or pickles) but most are different or are variations on the theme.
If I had to list one con, it would be that some of the menus may not be practical on a day-to-day basis (at least for working people), such as the multi-course breakfasts. I aim to figure out how to make this work, but without having to heat something up, I'm not sure. I'll get back to you on that. Once I try some of the recipes I'll try to come back and report. But by looks alone, I think Mayumi's Kitchen is a keeper.
(Just a note to the publisher: I did see a couple typos, which happens, occasionally, with a first printing. Pickle was misspelled once, and in the ingredients index some text was omitted.) I would not count this as a reason not to buy this book, though.

This book has inspired me to write my first book review!
2010/7/2
形式:ハードカバー|Amazonが確認した購入
I found myself wanting to change over to a macrobiotic diet but felt intimidated by most macrobiotic cookbooks. A friend who is a macrobiotic chef recommended this book so I bought it. I fell in love with it immediately! The pictures are beautiful and the recipes are so well written. All the food, and I mean ALL the food, has been delicious. The 10-day detox is so great b/c I don't have to think about what to make next - it is laid out perfectly. What I love is that no matter what I make it comes out exactly as it looks in the book, which is very encouraging. Mayumi's seasonings and sauces are right on target. Her tofu mayonnaise is surprisingly better than regular mayo. This book inspires me to eat healthier.
The only complaint I have is that I wish there were twice as many recipes. Mayumi, please write another book soon!!!

Wonderful addition to a Macrobiotic Cookbook shelf :)
2010/5/30
形式:ハードカバー
I have 4 other Macrobiotic Cookbooks on my kitchen shelf: 2 from Christina Pirello, 1 from Jessica Porter and 1 from Alicia Silverstone (co written by Jessica Porter). Mayumi's Kitchen is a wonderful addition to my cookbook shelf. The book itself is so bright and pleasing to the eye. There are lovely photographs of all of the recipes. The layout is really great - easy to read and understand. Mayumi Nishimura did a nice job of presenting her information in such a way that says , "The food looks fancy - but anyone can do this - it's easy" The only problem I had with this book is that it wasn't big enough! I wish it had more recipes. I hope she puts out another cookbook soon!!
