More About the Author
Product Description
Synopsis
Using an adapted version of Feng Shui Ba Gua, readers will learn to arrange their kitchen and dining room, plan meals, and naturally achieve health through the simple and proven principle of balance.
From the Author
Take a delicious and daily path to essential energy!
This book sprang from my work as an author in holistic approaches to peak performance and health; my interest in the I Ching, the fountainhead of feng shui and Chinese nutritional medicine; and a passion for food as a force for good and a sensual gift to people. The ebb and flow of energy is both the principle behind feng shui and the biochemical essence of eating. Like many people, I had often instinctually soothed my stressed-out self with a meal of yin foods or fired up for a challenge with the nutritive power of yang. My research revealed that the Chinese have been balancing their energy flow by applying feng shui principles to food for millennia, and when I learned the ancient wisdom underlying these intuitive connections, I was eager to bring this delicious power to as many kitchens as I could! Please drop me a line, and dine in good qi! --Elizabeth Miles

Yin, Yang and the Unwanted Dinner Guest, 10 April 1999
By gagscribe@aol.com - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Feng Shui Cookbook: Creating Health and Harmony in Your Kitchen (Hardcover)
Having never been a person to play close attention to my yin, let alone my yang, I was understandably frazzled when my wife announced that our day guest had turned into a dinner guest. With two young children, dinner is on a set time-table. Now I pride myself on having dinner guests. Cooking is my hobby. (My wife told me I needed a hobby and her genius suggested cooking.)So there I was with a few cans and a little over a pound of ground turkey meat. I rifled through my recipe books and came across one that I wasn't even aware of: Elizabeth Miles' The Feng Shui Cookbook. And there on pg. 167 was a recipe for Quick Chickpea Curry (containing the ground turkey). While the recipe promised to warm my qi and creative energy, I was glued to word quick.
Well in less than 20 minutes I had achieved both. The curry was fab, sprinkled with yogurt and cilantro. Our dinner guest went back for seconds and then thirds. And the conversation was robust. The Feng Shui part achieved its goal in spite of my cynicism.
Since I have enjoyed a number of the other dishes with other guests. Miles' text is as strong as her recipes. She has carefully crafted a book which tells you how certain food can feed certain moods and inspire different reactions. And this makes for immensely edible thoughts and results and of course, food.

Wonderful recipes and interesting background, 23 Mar 1999
By Theo Petersen (theo@acsp.com) - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Feng Shui Cookbook: Creating Health and Harmony in Your Kitchen (Hardcover)
I've heartily recommended this book to friends who are interested in Taoism and those who love to cook, and both groups seem pleased. I've cooked a dozen or so of the main dish recipes; none required cooking skills beyond the average meal-a-day home cook, and all the ingredients have been readily available at a well-stocked grocery. And every one has been a hit!

Don't underestimate this book--it's great, 4 Nov 2001
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Feng Shui Cookbook: Creating Health and Harmony in Your Kitchen (Hardcover)
I'm not sure what I expected when my wife brought home this cookbook (not much though). We must have 30 cookbooks... but we keep coming back to this book for quick and easy recipes that are quite wholesome. I can't vouch for the Feng Shui aspects--I guess it's cool that the dishes have a purpose. But every recipe we've tried has been great. We also like the Moosewood series of books--but find those recipes often take way longer than estimated (the ones in this book are very fast). From the Feng Shui book we regularly make the peanut noodle vegetables; the chickpea curry (mentioned in another review), and the grape gazpacho. There are a couple other stand-bys... but we're also up to try new ones all the time.
There are some pretty goofy "theme" cookbooks out there... and, on the surface, this may seem like one too. But don't be left out--it really is good.
