Mother and daughter present traditional Chinese Medicine herbal approaches to healing in this attractive book. Many recipes rely on familiar items, while others stretched my repertoire, but a local specialty store carries everything I need. Did I say this book is beautifully illustrated too?!

Synopsis
Soothe your soul and boost your immunity with these easy and delicious soup recipes that incorporate Traditional Chinese Medicine. Combining the two trends of culinary medicine and seasonal eating, with a dash of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Healing Herbal Soups is the first book of its kind to focus on boosting immunity and weathering the seasons by a mother-daughter, Chinese-American duo. Rose and Genevieve have been making Chinese herbal soups in their kitchens all their lives. They made broths whenever the weather changed, to help their bodies weather the seasons--and now, for the first time, they are translating these traditional recipes in English--all of which have been vetted by Dr. Eddie Chui, a pre-eminent Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) doctor, researcher, and professor.
Healing Herbal Soups provides more than fifty tasty recipes--complete with full-color photographs for identification purposes--that mix herbs with meat and vegetables to create healing broths to weather the seasons. These easy-to-follow soup recipes are here for you whenever you feel unwell or if you are just looking to add healthy soups into your weekly meal rotation. You can finally stop using Western medicine's concoction of drugs and chemicals and start using traditional Chinese herbal alternatives through food right in the comfort of your home.
