Gary,

Thanks for posting the link to Aine McAteer's macrobiotic cookbook. I had never heard of her before. Although, I think this is the societal wave. The established Hollywood stars, beginning to eat macrobiotic. I think Madonna is nearly there (she gave up Krispy Kremes). I think Oprah is close. Gwyneth Paltrow does eat macrobiotic. I think Cameron Diaz is also in the near group. Former fitness paid progrm guru, Susan Powter, is at or near macrobiotic. See the book, "Food". It is a transition program to the macrobiotic diet. I didn't know Cruise and Kidman had a macrobiotic cook or Robert Redford. Didn't know about Pierce Brosnan, either. John Denver was long macrobiotic. And Dirk Benedict (the A-Team), is a lifelong macro, overcoming prostate cancer through the macrobiotic diet, in his 20s. He looks young and great now in his 50s.

Haven't heard much of Boy George, who has also put out a macrobiotic cookbook.

Aine's recipes are macrobiotic, yet with a lot of spices. Okay for those in good health, too Yin for those in poor health.

Thanks,
Nancy
