Dear Friends,
We greatly appreciate Bruce and Crystal Macdonald who represent our Supplier in once again sharing much of the content for this month's newsletter which highlight's Japanese Foods That Heal by John and Jan Belleme which we sell here.
 For over fifteen years I have had the pleasure of working with Jan and John on various projects and must say they are both remarkably skilled as researchers and writers. Not to mention, Jan is the only gaijin (Japanese term for foreigner) I have ever met that cooks a perfect ito soba! John comes from a very prestigious background in research biology and has applied this expertise to his thorough explanation of the benefits of Japanese traditional foods. Of all the books out there explaining the amazing medicinal benefits of natural Japanese foods, I highly recommend adding "Japanese Foods That Heal" to your private collection.
Bruce S. Macdonald

Praise for Japanese Foods That Heal...
Wonderfully straightforward and informative, I learned much about the beneficial properties of the foods discussed in the book. Every recipe I've tried is concise and the results have been universally splendid. - John D. Paine, "Learning to Live Macro"
"AAA+++!!!" -Ruben Shapir, Amazon.com
There are 18 ingredients in the book - including miso, sesame oil, tamari, amazake, kuzu, brown rice vinegar, noodles, tofu, and sea vegetables, to name a few. Each chapter is dedicated to one item, and covers the history, traditional harvest and preparation, health benefits, recipes, and how to find/buy here in the US.
It is a great resource book, has interesting information and history, and ties in so many of the things I have read in the current traditional foods and fermentation books that it all just clicked. Definitely a good read. - Denise C. Scorch, Cook,Eat,Think
