The One Peaceful World Cookbook

I've been a vegetarian for 34 years and thought that I was well versed in being a vegetarian. So wrong . This book and it's recipes opened a new world for me. My quest is to find some the ingredients. This book was published August 29th. I'm going g to order it. I don't think that I've ever bookmarked so many recipes.

Well, I certainly learned a lot from this cookbook! How refreshing. 

One Peaceful World originally called to me because of the plant-based content, but the heavy macrobiotic focus gives an entirely new spin on plant-based, wholistic eating. Those interested in the spiritual aspects of food preparation & consumption would be especially interested in reading this book. A heavy focus on yin/yang, their similarities across various religions, time periods, and cultures, & how they play in how we eat is well explained in the introduction, and several examples of how yin/yang appears in cuisine are given for the less-spiritually-inclined (aka, godless heathens like me). 

If anything, this cookbook reminds readers to practice mindfulness within cuisine, and how we make and eat the food we love every day.

This book is centered on macrobiotic food. I didn't really know anything about this diet so I found it interesting. It explains what the diet is, what is important in this lifestyle, as well as what to have in your kitchen food and utensils wise.
The recipes are Japanese orientated so woukd be great for anyone interested in the culture. I think the photographs add a nice touch as well.
