Venice is a must for those who desire the complete Southern California experience. Rollerbladers and bicyclists glide on pathways paralleling the Pacific Ocean. In the sea, surfers in wetsuits frolic like dolphins in the waves.  On occasion Chef Eric Lechasseur, co-owner of Venice’s macrobiotic Seed Kitchen is one of the surfers…If he’s not prepping meals for Hollywood celebs or updating the macrobiotic menu for Seed Kitchen.

Seasons (as in Japanese cooking) are honored in macrobiotic food creation. Chef Eric traded in his cream-heavy French sauces for organic, healthy cooking when his wife, Sanae Suzuki (co-owner of Seed Kitchen) was diagnosed with cancer. Sanae is now cancer-free. She is, of course, a fan of her husband’s wholesome cuisine. You may also be a fan after a Seed Kitchen meal. You won’t be alone. Seed Kitchen cookbooks (on sale at the restaurant) are sprinkled with praise from stars. Madonna says, “Eric’s macro desserts are so indulgent, you would think they are sinful!”
