Guest guest Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 I don't see myself listed on their site, but here it is: What people say about macrobiotics: Ashburn ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- Q:How did you start with macrobiotics? A: One afternoon, my dear long time friend Renata cooked a meal for me and sitting at the beach we talked for the longest time with the northshore waves crashing, gentle trade winds blowing, and warm sand beneath us. I felt invigorated, light, happy and alive. I always remembered that delicious and health meal. After we both moved to Japan, My life radically change at that moment. Q: How has macrobiotics helped you? A: Macrobiotics opened my eyes to see the world, myself, and my health in a completely new way. I feel a deeper sense of peace with everything around me and a similar intensity of love towards both myself and others. It has given me hope when otherwise there was none. When I learned macrobiotics in Japan, my teachers, the Nakas, opened their hearts to me like parents, and brought me into a community where I would have otherwise been an outsider. Instead of being isolated by my foreign status, I instead saw things in Japan that many people never have a chance to experience. For that reason, part of my goal in returning to the US and starting to teach macrobiotics has been to develop a similar community and social network for support, encouragement, and learning opportunities. Currently, The macrobiotic scene is very small here in Honolulu, Hawaii, but with a strong community, It will flourish. Right now, I'm working very hard to teach a many classes as possible, and to bring some recognition to Hawaii about macrobiotics. Q: What one piece of advice would you give to someone trying macrobiotics for the first time? A: Make friends with other macrobiotic people and take advantage of the opportunities available in your community. If there are teachers, go learn from them, and if there are activities, participate in them. having the support of others will go a long way. Reading a book and trying to teach yourself to cook is not the same as taking classes from and experienced teacher. Not only are the classes fun and great opportunity to make new friend, but they will help improve your cooking and condition more quickly than exclusively attempting everything at home alone. My favourite recipe is: Fresh Spring Rolls Ingredients serves 4/5 1 small bunch of watercress 1 carrot cut into large matchsticks approximately 2 sheets of nori, cut into quarters Fresh spring roll wrappers Directions Blanche the watercress and carrot in water with a pinch of salt and set aside to cool. With a pastry brush, lightly spread water on the spring roll wrapper with a brush and allow it to become soft. Place the nori on top of the wet rice paper in the center, and then place watercress and carrot on top of the nori. Roll it up, turning the sides in, and then cut it into half and serve with your favourite dipping sauce.
