Similar to the Boy George Macro book. - By: Marsglobe, 13 Aug 2008 
This is a great book but if you already own the (excellent)Boy George macrobiotic book beware because both books share the same recipes & in some cases pictures too. I think that Simon Brown's partner co-wrote the Boy George book with him & they both run a health food store in West London. This one has more info about the nutritional qualities of macro foods & is worth buying for that alone, however you don't need to own both books.
Just try it... - By: Jeremy N. Parkin, 11 Jun 2007 
What a great introduction to macrobiotics. Got started straight away & fel better for it. The information is inspiring & when I read through I got to the point where it would be difficult to eat anything else. I lost weight, feel fitter & calmer emotionallly. Just joined Simon's yahoo discussion group as well.
If you are interested in healthy eating & improving health I would definately recommend this book.
Great book and comes with a free discussion group! - By: Amanda, 04 Jun 2007 I bought this book & wow it alll made sense. Even without trying I found myself changing my foods. If knowledge is power......The photos alone made me want to try the recipes. Some took a bit of getting used to but after my third miso soup I got into it. I have had it everyday for the last week.
I started due to poor health & am already feeling better. At the back of the book Simon includes his website. I went on & found runs a free macrobiotic yahoo discussion group. So now I get to chat to Simon & other macrobiotic people from alll over world.
It alll worked much better than I ever dared to hope.
A Life Changing Book! - By: Marky Parky, 10 Aug 2006 This book enables one to strip back to basics, & rebuild as a new & invigorated man!
The definitive guide to conscious eating in the modern world - By: Ilanit Tof, 24 Apr 2006 When my friend told me how great your book was I couldn't wait to get it. But when it arrived today I was bowled over by how great it is. And that is before I have even read it thoroughly!
It is visuallly stunning. So beautifuallly presented, clear, direct, uncompromosing yet friendly, inviting, thorough & user friendly.
I have already recoemmended it to a friend in the UK starting macrobiotics who has ordered it & I look forward to recommending it widely. When will it be available in Australia?
Thanks for writing such a great & inspiring & comprehensive book - it means I don't have to now - LOL!
Anyway, congratulations on such great work. It is just what macrobiotics needs."
And now having delved into the contents I am even more excited about it. The recipes & presentation of them is great, the modern nutrition & oriental traditions are thoughtfully & thoroughly explained. It is uncompromising on healing principles yet approachable & relevant to modern life.
As a long time macrobiotic explorer I found it refreshing & re-inspiring yet I would feel completely comfortable recommending it to someone just beginning their exploration of food energetics, cooking & conscious eating.
