THE FIVE ELEMENTS COOKBOOK

Zoey Xinyi Gong

A Guide to Traditional Chinese Medicine with Recipes for Everyday Healing

A stunning and accessible guide to cooking with Traditional Chinese Medicine, with over 50 nourishing recipes to eat for healing every day by Traditional Chinese Medicine chef and registered dietitian, Zoey Xinyi Gong.

TCM chef and registered dietitian Zoey Xinyi Gong offers a fresh, elegant, and authentic approach to food therapy and a truly accessible guide to cooking with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), a thousands year old practice for holistic wellness. Named after a foundational theory of what balanced and optimal health looks like, THE FIVE ELEMENTS COOKBOOK, is a stunning introduction to the beginner concepts of TCM and offers a photographic guide to the most commonly used medicinal ingredients (American ginseng, turmeric, reishi, and more), their healing properties, and how to use them seamlessly in your cooking - whether in a warm tea, restorative bone broth, a sweet smoothie, or your favorite dinner.

Each of the over 50 delicious recipes ingeniously incorporates a food-as-medicine ingredient, with consideration for seasonality, digestion, and body constitution, and specific concerns, like menstrual pains, nausea, anxiety, blood circulation, respiratory health, and more. For those with dietary restrictions, each recipe also includes a key for vegan, nut free, dairy free, gluten free, plus the TCM energetics and uses. Recipes span all day and every meal, plus beverages and desserts.

With beautiful photographs throughout, this soothing, practical guide is perfect for those looking to eat for healing, nourishment, and joy.

The Five Elements Cookbook is a wonderful introduction to Traditional Chinese Medicine food therapy. The section on Chinese herbs is an indispensable guide and beautifully photographed.

The Five Elements Cookbook is a revelation - not just for how to cook using the elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine, but how to think holistically about cooking and eating in a way that takes into account the needs of each individual.
