From the Publisher
Happy 15th Birthday to The Self-Healing Cookbook! Now available in the 9th Revised Edition, this playful, user-friendly guide to macrobiotics has become a well-loved classic (over 180,000 copies sold). A favorite repeat seller in natural food stores and alternative health care clinics, it has been used a textbook for college classes in Holistic Health, and as a handbook for nutritional counselors training at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York City. Many thanks to amazon.com for continuing to host this book on the web.

Much more than recipes, The Self-Healing Cookbook gives fresh, heartwarming support to anyone aiming to prevent or recover from diet-related moods and health symptoms. A starter shopping list, food-mood charts, self-healer's workbook, and healing foods glossary are included. Along with a wealth of wisdom on how to eat locally, think globally, cook with the seasons, lose weight naturally and nourish growing kids.

Word-of-mouth has carried this book to Great Britain, Canada, Singapore, Israel, and Australia. Over 21,000 copies have sold in the Japanese edition. In April, 2002, it will be published in Brazil, in a Portuguese edition. We'd love to hear from international readers where else it has found a home in your kitchens.

From the Author
Hi Readers!

What a treat to be able to write to you on the web. The spark that connects us is able to leap across time zones, do a figure-eight in your brain circuitry, and land in your kitchen..in The Electrically Present Moment.

"It's on the edge of your knife. It's at rest, in the core of your wooden spoon. Waiting for you to stir. It dances on the curly edges of the kale. Then, bubbles in the pot. And, it's in you. The elusive spark that heals."

"It's the mysterious stuff of life. Watch for it sparkling in the water. Season your cooking with it daily. You may soon come alive with potency (potential for an exciting, adventurous life). More than ever imagined."

Sixteen years ago, when I wrote those words about "Cooking With Spark," I had no idea they would connect me with so many wonderful folks, all around the globe. All I knew was that I had to follow my passion for Self-Healing Education. Writing and self-publishing The Self-Healing Cookbook was the first fruit of that passion.

Folks often ask me when I'm going to write more books. I don't know if I will. I'm following the spark. Currently, I offer personal sessions in Self-Healing Education at Full Circle Wellness Center in Vashon, Washington.

May you be nurtured by all life brings you!

Warmest Regards from Kristina Turner
