A simple lunch I made myself recently. And fancied myself a little Stella McCartney or Gwyneth Paltrow. (Famous macrobiotics, apparently.)
I have never been, nor probably ever will be a Macrobiotic eater. EXCLUSIVELY.
But sometimes I get a little close. (You could too?) They say it's very good for you. Well, Gwyneth does. And she's very slim! (Which some of us find a desirable thing to be.)
I've mentioned how much I love tofu and pesto. If you've eaten and enjoyed Pain Quotidien's tofu
salad with nori and three sauces, you might agree with me. I mashed the pesto and tofu with the roasted baking potatoes above. I love this combination.
With roasted brussel sprouts and onions that basically taste like candy, it was a very satisfying meal.
I lightened it with cranberry juice, some fizzy mineral water, and a sprig of mint.
