I just got home from my first macrobiotic cooking class and it was a blast! It was held in Garden City, Michigan by Valerie Wilson (aka,
Macro Val), author of
Perceptions in Healthy Cooking.
We made quinoa miso soup, pressure cooked brown rice, pot boiled rice, aduki beans & daikon, daikon pickles, and boiled collard greens. It's a four week class focusing on cancer prevention.
I was a little hesitant at first about spending the money on a class like this when I've got such a huge (and growing) collection of macro books already. It was absolutely worth it though! So much positive energy and so many interesting little things you can't pick up from a book. It was also pretty cool to just hang out with some like minded people, in person
Now I wish I'd taken a class sooner!
