I'm on the road, in search of food — food for my body, food for my mind, food for my soul. I dedicate this blog to peanut butter, my best friend. Food is what we're all about. Cheers!

6. Ten Recipes To Health And Happiness — Burger Number Seven’s Special Burgers


The recipes for the burgers at Burger Number Seven diners are based on George Ohsawa’s Ten Ways To Health And Happiness. That is, the ingredients are macrobiotic, and the proportions of grains, vegetables, and animal products are the same as they are in each of these ten macrobiotic diets. Five of the burger recipes are plant-based, vegetarian, and vegan. The other five burger recipes have meat, egg, and/or dairy ingredients (such as beef, turkey, fish, egg, or cheese). All ingredients are organic, fresh, and locally grown whenever possible. With the exception of “Burger Number Seven,” the names of the burgers will probably change to reflect their unique recipes. Burger buns, sauces, and condiments are to be determined.

Five “Plant-Based” Burgers:

  1. Burger #7 = 100% whole grains
  2. Burger #6 = 90% grains, 10% vegetables (nitsuke, possibly)
  3. Burger #5 = 80% grains, 20% vegetables
  4. Burger #4 = 70% grains, 20% vegetables, 10% “soup” (beans, seaweed, miso, flour, etc.)
  5. Burger #3 = 60% grains, 30% vegetables, 10% “soup” (beans, seaweed, miso, flour, etc.)

Five “Animal” Burgers:

  1. Burger #2 = 50% grains, 30% vegetables, 10% “soup” (beans, seaweed, miso, flour, etc.), 10% animal (meat, egg, dairy)
  2. Burger #1 = 40% grains, 30% vegetables, 10% “soup” (beans, seaweed, miso, flour, etc.), 20% animal (meat, egg, dairy)
  3. Burger #-1 = 30% grains, 30% vegetables, 10% “soup” (beans, seaweed, miso, flour, etc.), 20% animal (meat, egg, dairy), 10% fruit, nuts or salad (raw or salt-pickled vegetables)
  4. Burger #-2 = 20% grains, 30% vegetables, 10% “soup” (beans, seaweed, miso, flour, etc.), 25% animal (meat, egg, dairy), 10% fruit, nuts or salad (raw or salt-pickled vegetables), 5% "dessert" (fruit, nuts, flour, oil, etc.)
  5. Burger #-3 = 10% grains, 30% vegetables, 10% “soup” (beans, seaweed, miso, flour, etc.), 30% animal (meat, egg, dairy), 15% fruit, nuts or salad (raw or salt-pickled vegetables), 5% "dessert" (fruit, nuts, flour, oil, etc.)
