The 100 Year Menu: Recipes from the Okinawan blue zone

I ADORE Japanese recipes since they are not only healthy, but they are extremely creative and tasty!!! I'm so lucky to have stumbled across this book on Amazon while it was being offered for free as a promotion!!! I love how it captures the spirit of Japan and how company can improve not only the quality of your food but improve your overall wellbeing!!! This cookbook is nothing short of spectacular and heartwarming!!!

This book provides beautiful photos and simple instructions for preparing many Okinawan recipes. These foods have helped the Okinawans live long and healthy lives. I haven't tried making a dish yet, but they look delicious.

Great, easy to follow recipes made with ingredients you can find at Asian markets in the US. Beautiful pictures. Well done!

Enjoyed learning of the lifestyle and lifestyle guidelines from what is called a "blue zone."The recipes are interesting and inviting to experience!Thanks for the book and it's recipes, but I believe the best part was the lifestyle guides!

A great cookbook and a beautiful pictorial as well. As I only had a passing familiarity with quite a few of these ingredients, this has inspired me to attempt healthy recipes I would have had no ability to try otherwise. I’ve always been intrigued with the Japanese fascination with Spam, there are a few recipes in here that I can’t wait to make for my mother in law, a Spam aficionado. There is a wide selection of recipes including vegetarian dishes , a selection of pork dishes, and other dishes I will be keen to try. As a foodie who loves new international recipes and then taking pics of my efforts, this book will give me many opportunities to expand my culinary efforts.

Very well laid out and organized receipe book! Each page makes you more and more excited to cook these delicious looking dishes!

The book is not only full of lots of really great recipes, it is full of tons of information about the food and ingredients. Such a fun cookbook. Great gift too!

As a professional chef and admittedly biased person with over 35 years of experience living in Japan and 10 years alone in Okinawa. So especially when it comes to Japan, Okinawa, and all these folks claiming to be experts in "Blue Zone" this and that... You gotta just buy this book and take it in for the fabulous recipes it has to offer. I personally wouldn't have contributed to the forward if I didn't absolutely believe that Ms. Burnette and Ms. Taira were absolutely on point 100%+++

This book focuses on the Okinawan longevity diet, and I was immediately surprised by the amount of history and focus put on the core ingredients used throughout the book. You can tell that a lot of research was put into this book. I really enjoyed how Christal focuses not only on the actual recipes, but also teaches us HOW they need to be enjoyed to get the true longevity effect!

I was shocked by how quick and easy these recipes are too make. Many of them are even one pot which is perfect for me because I just had my first son and family life can get busy. This book is sooo worth the price and probably should be more expensive. Also, WALMART NOW HAS PURPLE SWEET POTATOES!!

To balance health and life. This book is more than recipes, it is a philosophy for life. I have fed my children miso for years. Though I am still heavy from my programming in the USA. My children are fit an healthy. I almost want to give them donuts, but why when they can live to 100 with the Okinawan diet.

It's a beautiful book with many standard Okinawan recipes, with clear explanations of the ingredients that come from Okinawa.

This book is so helpful.I didn’t even know some recipes.
