Hip Chick Jessica Porter brings the basics of macrobiotics and her unique personality into your home, making for 12 hours of funny, informative, and unforgettable classes. Jessica begins this video series in Toronto, Canada. After four classes, she takes the show on the road to London, England where she lived for two months to cook for her mother. Because of the time change, the classes take place at 1:30 a.m. U.K. time and her family becomes the production crew! Still, delicious food and British insanity abounds.

Cooking With Beans
Most of the protein from the macrobiotic diet comes from beans and bean products. And most people these days are unfamiliar with how to cook beans well, or the distinct characteristics of each. The class covers: Rice with black soybeans, Aduki beans with squash, Tempeh “tuna” and Black-eyed Pea Croquettes. This class was originally broadcast on February 6, 2008.

Sea Vegetables
Yes, seaweed. Don’t be afraid. Seaweeds provide necessary minerals to the body and are absorbed by the human body in a way that dairy food is not. It’s essential to get familiar with seaweeds for long-term bone, skin, and hair health. Trust me, these recipes are delicious and you will never think of seaweed the same way again. We cook: Hijiki, Nori condiment, Sauteed Kombu and Seaweed Crunch! This class was originally broadcast on March 5, 2008.
