About Ancient Wisdom, Modern Kitchen: Recipes From The
Product Description Ancient Wisdom, Modern Kitchen, a winner in the 2010 International Book Awards, reveals how easy it is to tap into the 3,000-year-old secrets of the Eastern healing arts. This entertaining and easy-to-use book provides scores of delicious recipes, anecdotes about various herbs and foods, and all you need to know about acquiring ingredients--even if you don't know the difference between a lotus seed and the lotus position.Highlighting "superfoods," such as goji berries, as well as more familiar ingredients like ginger, garlic, and mint, Ancient Wisdom, Modern Kitchen includes indispensible information: * An overview of traditional Chinese medicine, herbs, and food therapy * Details on 100 healthy Asian ingredients * Healing recipes for common health concerns, including fatigue, menopause, high cholesterol, weight control, and diabetes From Publishers Weekly For the uninitiated, using Chinese herbs can be intimidating. Admitting that entering the world of traditional Chinese medicine is like learning a new language, the three authors of this well-penned title highlight key concepts of east Asian herbal cooking, and lucidly explain their holistic approach to cooking. Recipes from China, Japan, and Korea, arranged by course, include informative headnotes, ingredient variations, and notes on how the recipe ties into Chinese medicine. While cynics may snicker at recipe titles such as Life-Force Chicken and Mushrooms in Wine, Change-of-Pace Chicken, Mushroom and Lotus Seed Soup, Take-A-Deep-Breath Baked Lime Apple, and Expanding-Horizons Chrysanthemum Tea, dishes that may be more familiar to some American cooks, such as Korean seaweed soup, Garlic Green Beans, and pot stickers round out the offerings. A section titled Recipes for Common Health Concerns is a must-read, and the detailed resources/suggested places to find ingredients will get any cook well stocked for the recipes, no matter where they live.

Review Library Journal, 3/15/10 “Recommended as an accessible introduction to integrating ideas of traditional Chinese medicine into cooking.” InfoDad.com, 3/25/10 “The recipes themselves would earn the book a high rating, but it is the context in which the authors place the food that really makes this book outstanding. Each recipe is followed by information on health issues that the recipe may be useful in addressing – according to the way Oriental medicine is practiced…All in all, Ancient Wisdom, Modern Kitchen is a feast for the mind as well as the palate; and perhaps some readers will find that it can represent a few steps on the path toward wellness, too.” Sacramento Book Review, 3/27/10 “Loaded with useful information to take care of your health.” UK’s Health & Fitness magazine, May 2010 “Mixing the ancient tradition of traditional medicine and healing using herbs and food with western home remedies and recipes, this book offers a wealth of healing kitchen tips….An accessible way to cook health-giving Asian meals.” Supereco.com, 3/29/10 "In the face of increasing dissatisfaction with conventional medical care, the book is a powerful package offering a window into how other cultures stay healthy." Healthy Soul website, 4/12/10 “The health-conscious cook could learn a lot and find a different approach to eating to supplement their wellbeing.” January magazine, 4/17/10 “A revelation…A deeply interesting book. One that, given the right set of circumstances and half a chance, could change your life.” Tucson Citizen, 4/17/10 “This is a wonderful collection that would be an asset in almost any kitchen.
