About this title

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

Synopsis

Traditional Chinese philosophy states there must be a harmonious relationship between the physical and the spiritual. The food we eat plays a crucial role in maintaining this balance. This book presents the reader with delicious recipes labelled yin, yang and balanced to show how qi (or chi) harmony can be attained. Choose between Fire-Roasted Fillet Steak in Wild Mushroom Sauce for peak performance, or combat burnout with Gingered Sweet Potato Soup. Aubergine, Tomato and Goat's Cheese Tart strengthens yin energy for contemplation, whilst Chilli-Honey Baby Back Ribs unleash energy for daring endeavours.
