Product Description
Review
"Zhuo Zhao and George Ellis have taken great pains not only to provide us with an exhaustive (three hundred recipes) compendium of medicinal foods and preparations but have also included chapters on Chinese medical theory, Yin/Yang theory, Five Element theory and an explanation of the Chinese view of illness and its causes. The Healing Cuisine of China is a terrific book to have on hand: the recipes are well-researched and simple to make and they remind us of the tremendous power we have to maintain our own well-being."

A Door to The Pleasure of Eating and Feeling Great,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Healing Cuisine of China: 300 Recipes for Vibrant Health and Longevity (Paperback)
One unique feature about Zhuo Zhao and George Ellis's new book--The Healing Cuisine of China--is that it includes real recipes from China, a country people regard food as heaven. Growing up in China, Zhao took for granted how the Chinese in everyday life treat their minor ailments, improve their general health or beautify themselves by choosing to eat specific foods. Living in the west made her realize how little people in this part of the world knew about another beauty of the Chinese cusine--it is supposed to improve one's health. The 300 recipes, a result of years of research in China, backed up by real life anecdotes and scientific analyses, open up a door to the pleasure of eating, and feeling great, not only while eating, but also in the future.Ray Wang, California

Great book!!,
By K. Lane - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Healing Cuisine of China: 300 Recipes for Vibrant Health and Longevity (Paperback)
This book is great. It's different than I expected (I was looking for general recipes to balance your consitution) and this has a lot of remedies for specific ailments. There are some very interesting (and simple) recipes for treatments, and I really am curious about the earthworm. :D I especially like the recipes for helpful/healthful teas and wines. I love the way the book is layed out, and it is very easy to read and understand.
Chapters: 1. Origins & theory 2. Causes of Illness (talks about the pathogens) 3. Eating for health (has a great survey to find out more about your constitution) 4. Foods and their healing properties 5. Home Remedies 6. Longevity banquets (this is the section that has the more general recipes) 7. exercise for health (qigong) I recommend this book to anyone looking for recipes and remedies, and the healing properties of foods. also highly recommended: Healing with Whole Foods by Paul Pitchford is a great book, very in depth, on nutrition (blending asian and western), with lots of chinese theory, and the healing properties of food The Tao of Healhty Eating by Bob Flaws is a small book on TCM and nutrition. It is really easy to understand and a great introduction. 20 of 24 people found the following review helpful:

As Informative As It Is Useful,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Healing Cuisine of China: 300 Recipes for Vibrant Health and Longevity (Paperback)
The Healing Cuisine of China by Zhuo Zhao and George Ellis is an excellent book! It is not a typical health food book. The book not only teaches you how to prepare healthy food; it teaches you how to prepare healthy food that tastes good! Also, there are many tidbits about Chinese culture and medicine in this book. So, you learn as you cook! Truly, this book has something for everyone, whether you are a fitness fanatic or simply one who likes good food.

Interesting buy not organized very well.,
By Me Stoner Jeanne "stanely42" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Healing Cuisine of China: 300 Recipes for Vibrant Health and Longevity (Paperback)
This makes an interesting reference book on medicinal recipes. I just don't like the way it is organized. You have to thumb through the whole book to get a feel for what ailments it addresses and I found the list somewhat wanting. Other than that, it makes an interesting compendium of Chinese remedies although I think I'll pass on the fried and ground earthworms!
