Vegan Macrobiotic Desserts
By Eric Lechasseur

Chef
Eric Lechasseur started dabbling with microbiotics when
his wife Sanae was diagnosed with cancer in 1993. Today,
Sanae is well, and Lechasseur has cured himself of debilitating
allergies. The former head pastry chef at Los Angeles macrobiotic
mecca M
Café de Chaya has published love, eric, a vegan, macrobiotic desserts cookbook that is a true love
letter to this life-affirming approach. Macrobiotic sweets
may not sound like an indulgence, but wait till you try
the lavender sable cookies, persimmon rice pudding and baked
pear with walnut stuffing and crème Anglaise. Recipes
are uncomplicated, and you won’t come across that
white nemesis to good health, processed sugar. With innovative,
twists on pies, tarts, cookies and cakes, all sumptuously
photographed, Lechasseur proves that eating macro doesn’t
mean sacrificing flavor and food presentation in favor of
strict health dictums.
