"I have been eating Macrobiotics since 8/06 and have been taking Macrobiotic cooking classes from Melanie Waxman since 9/06. Prior to this, I had gained a lot of weight, my blood pressure was on its way up and I had high cholesterol. Since eating macrobiotics, I have lost 40 pounds and have normal blood pressure and cholesterol. I have had people tell me my skin looks wonderful and I feel terrific.

Melanie's classes are held, very informally, in her kitchen, surrounded by her children and dogs. She is extremely creative and her classes provide me with the incentive to stay with my new way of life. Each class focuses on a different topic and we get wonderful recipes and handouts so we can practice the dishes at home. The best class for me was the ‘hands on’ where we participated in making the meal and were given advice on how to improve our styles. The end of the class is always my favorite because we get to enjoy all the dishes that were prepared and shown. And... Melanie is a terrific cook. I leave feeling invigorated and inspired knowing that this tasty food is so good for me."
