Karma Cookbook Author: Boy George & Dragana Brown Format: Paperback Pages: 128 ISBN: 1903258162 Synopsis: When pop icon, Boy George, discovered macrobiotic cooking, it changed his life - bringing him new levels of energy and health. This lively book, packed with anecdotes and reminiscences, blows away the preconception that macrobiotic cooking means bland, worthy dishes of rice and lentils. Instead, George provides us with a selection of more than 100 easy-to-follow delicious recipes, created by his great friend and macrobiotic mentor, Dragana Brown. His choice includes breakfast, lunch and dinner dishes, as well as snacks and desserts and meals that can be eaten while travelling or when company is expected. There is information, too, on selecting ingredients that may be unfamiliar as well as new ways of cooking old favourites and the valuable contribution these particular ingredients make to your diet. In addition to his personal recommendations of individual recipes. George gives us a funny, first-hand account of how macrobiotic food can take its place in the busiest and most demanding modern lifestyle. Explaining that the food you eat affects your body's general wellbeing, George reveals in an unpretentious and light-hearted way, how an enjoyable change of diet can transform your quality of life.
