"The secret of macrobiotic food is that, even though it looks easy enough to prepare, each individual dish has been assembledunhurriedly and with thoughtfulness...the Macro Meal of the Day ...represented the Zen of complexity stripped to its essential nature"

Macro = Long Bio = LIFE

Macrobiotics is adhering to a lifestyle that promotes long life.

“Macrobiotics is a practical way of selecting, cooking and eating foods based on the ancient concept of Tao - “the pursuit of the natural way of heaven and earth - the order of the universe; the Great Whole, containing all change.”

The balance of yin and yang in the food we prepare is important, as is eating seasonally, eating in a balanced manner across the food groups, and including the five tastes: salty, bitter, sweet, sour and pungent. Our approach to vegetarian macrobiotics is based on a belief that a balanced diet of grains, beans, fresh vegetables, seeds and occasional fruits in season provides all the essential nutrients necessary for health.
