Synopsis
Nina Simonds, an authority on Chinese cooking, takes the holistic approach to food and eating that she learned as a student in Asia and adapts it to Western customs, claiming that "the Asian holistic approach does not preach denial or impose a rigid diet, but, rather, stresses a common-sense, relaxed approach to eating in which balance is key." Recipes include Thai Beef with Mint Soup, Clams with Basil and Garlic, Five-Spice Pork Roll-Ups, Grilled Leeks with Garlic-Soy Dressing, Cinnamon Curry Rice, Flaky Scallion Pancakes, and Orange Madeleines. A back-of-the-book section of healthful remedies includes Longevity Tonic, Female Balance Tonic, and concoctions to help cure toothache, indigestion, acne, constipation, and colds.

Publisher's Note
A bestselling authority on Chinese cooking presents a groundbreaking cookbook with 200 delectable recipes based on the Asian philosophy of food as health-giving. in color.

Whatever your health concerns may be, you will find the right restorative and satisfying recipes. Babies and toddlers have special needs, as do adolescents, pregnant and menopausal women, the aging--and all of these are addressed with specific recommendations. The wealth of information Nina Simonds offers here derives from her extensive research into the evidence amassed over three thousand years by practitioners of Chinese medicine, and from her interviews with leading experts today in food as medicine, who offer their firsthand testimony.

Industry Reviews
"If you suspect you should begin preparing for a trip to a good Asian herbal store, this is generally not necessary. There is a purity about the recipes, many of which are designed to highlight just one or two ingredients. Flavors are intense and clear."
New York Times - Amanda Hesser (05/05/1999)
