That’s perfectly right! This awesome Nabe Cooking is just as Gluten-Free as you wanna make it! So, if you’ve been enchanted by the idea of vegan or macrobiotic cooking directly at your table, for 2 or company, and gluten-free is a criteria for you – look no more! Call it Nabe, Hooto, Shabu-Shabu, we’ll cover it all, and this class features completely vegan, macrobiotic and gluten-free organic ingredients!

How’s that possible you ask??? Simple. We’ll be cooking Tinkyada or Quinoa pasta, and if you prefer no flour choice at all, why, we’ll have freshly hulled brown rice just for you! Next, hmmm, seasoning. Okay, here’s the scoop: in Nabe dining, guess what! You season your own bowl! So, we’ll have 3 different levels of Macrobiotic Mitoku Shoyu for you, or the barley free San-J, and if that’s still not within your guidelines, well, there is Si Salt, Sea Salt, gomashio & shichimi. So, your meal will have a very delicious flavor.

And vegetables galore! They are truly the kingpin of this meal, plus a few garnishes, all within realm of  gluten-free! Goodness, you wouldn’t want me to give away all the loveliness of this divine meal!

So, here’s what one of my clients told me about her Nabe experience: I made Nabe for my parents, and suddenly the room became so quiet, and we were all so relaxed as we were enjoying the meal! Yep, that’s the purpose and result of Nabe Cooking: it relaxes us deep within, creating a lovely warmth inside & out. And isn’t this exactly what each of us can use in our busy, busy lives. Relaxing, feeling warmth in this snowy, cold season. Anyone remember Simon & Garfinkle singing, slow down, you’re moving too fast!

Hope to see you! Early registration is greatly appreciated.

Nabe, the Perfect Winter Dish, Macro-Fondu, Easy and Quick!

Nabe Cooking?? What could this be?
Just come to class — and then you will see!

Why in Macro-land this is the dish we all do,
And almost no clean-up, once you are through!

A one-dish meal: noodles, veg & protein all served in one bowl,
Cooked at the table, easy for two or a party, just so you know.

This might remind you of Swiss Fondu — no need to beware,
Minus cheese and heavy oil, we enjoy this meal without a waistline care!

Winter’s the reason Nabe is my first cooking class.
‘Tis Relax-our-Kidneys-season, and Warren asked me to teach every lad and lass!

This clay Nabe pot’s perfect for Winter, a great way to go
Guaranteed to turn you into a Nabe fan after Saturday’s Nabe Demo!

*March 15 is the 3^rd Tuesday of the month to accommodate Warren Kramer’s visit

Scrumptious Desserts! We’re talkin’ macrobiotic, vegan without sugars, eggs, cream or other dairy products. Some ingredients are even used in macrobiotic home remedies. Meaning, they actually promote health, like soothing kuzu, aides digestion, and kanten flakes, a sea veggie full of minerals. Isn’t this amazing! And for sweeteners we use Suzanne’s Brown Rice Syrup or Barley Malt which are actually made from grains. Being complex sugars, not simple sugars, they go through all steps of our digestion process and don’t cause havoc with our blood sugar. These sweeteners appear in some macro home remedy drinks, such as Ame Kuzu and Warm Barley Kanten. You can be rest-assured these are not artificial sweeteners causing ill side-effects – no saccharin, splenda, or tropical stevia located here. We enjoy these sweets a few times a week, and find ourselves satisfied. Free from candy bars & cakes we use to crave.

What’s the ideal Macrobiotic Dessert? Gentle desserts, just cooked stove-top, rather than baked in the oven. Here’s the reason: when we’re changing our health, we avoid hard, baked ingredients with flour products so cookies, pies, cakes are not recommended daily fare. Instead we enjoy fruit cooked stove-top with a lovely kuzu glaze, or fruit kantens creating a luscious pudding consistency. Or select a parfait with fresh fruit, using kuzu rather than dairy for the creamy sauce. With locally-grown organic melons and berries soon available & ready to cool us down this summer, May’s perfect timing for a sweet macrobiotic cooking class featuring desserts!

S’pose you’re wondering: if I wish to be really healthy, why would I want to eat desserts anyway? A very insightful question! Here’s the reason. Just like deer are attracted to a salt lick, humans desire a sweeter flavor for eighty percent of food. That may seem like a lot, but just look at all the sweet vegetables we enjoy, as well as fruit, and there you have it. Even sauces served around the globe often have a sweet taste. And sometimes we just want a little something to end the meal, clear the palate, as Margaret mentioned when we prepped our Leftover Macrobiotic Cooking Class yesterday. And these milder treats keep us out of  t-r-o-u-b-l-e, like all traditional brimful of sugary, creamy, buttery sweets everywhere we go.

Another reason for learning good quality Macrobiotic Desserts is serving company and even friends stopping by. You feel confident something in your fridge is yummy-as-the-Ritz or NYC’s Serendipity – even serving friends who aren’t eating macro. You’ll enjoy your dessert, and their compliments. Recently we delighted Abe, the insulation expert inspecting our home, with our Apple Crisp, & we joined him too, natch! Learn some delicious, healthier desserts in this macrobiotic cooking class, and you won’t have to be singing this old song:

If I knew you were comin’ I’d've baked a cake, hired a band, goodness sake!
If I knew you were comin’ I’d've baked a cake
Howdya do, howdya do, howdya do?

This macrobiotic cooking class features desserts you can use frequently plus just one over-the-top for very special occasions, well, maybe two over-the-top! Sometimes we just need something a little more special, or when we entertaining. I mean wouldn’t you just love to serve a mini chocolate truffle? What if it had kanten flakes in it instead of eggs & a little Eden Blend Rice/Soy Beverage instead of butter & cream?

And that little chocolate chip cookie I made this December? Chips sweetened with barley malt, without dairy! So delish I gave them to lots of people in our world. One sweet note on top of a letter ~ Sure enjoyed those chocolate chip cookies! Thanks, Mailman Mike tells it all. Bet you’ll like them too! So like Rosemary Clooney sings, Come on-a my house, I’m gonna give you candy …!

Come on-a my house, my house,  I’m gonna teach you cookies and truffles and tarts,
Come on-a my house I’m gonna teach to you … some sweet, yummy, healthier macro things..
