I received an Advanced Reader Copy from NetGalley and Althea Press for my unbiased opinion of the book. I remember a phrase somewhere they say "heal thy self" this is the book to do it with. It takes a comprehensive holistic approach to the seasons and mind body and spirit. When you cover all the basis you begin to have a healthier more mindful and conscious you. The book goes into detail in the beginning chapters on how to start the process and what it all means for us newbies. I tried Spanish Clams with Chorizo, Chinese Longevity Noodles with Shiitake Mushrooms, Turmeric Chicken all of them were delightful. The recipes are well laid out and easy to follow with not a lot of high-priced ingredients. I cannot wait to cook my way through this book during each season. I will be recommending this book to all my family and friends.

This book caught me by surprise. Good recipes. Good teachings. If you want to eat well and love well this book is for you!
I wanted to add one important thing : recipes are easy to prepare. Very nutricious. I am giving this one full five stars because I just tried 3 more recipes from this book and I absolutely love it!!!!

These recipes are both healthful and delicious. The Chinese Medicine viewpoint is new to me, so I enjoyed that aspect, as well.

Not only is this a cookbook, it gives a lesson in the elements . Teaches of interactions and harmony for the body.

This is a beautiful book about using Chinese medicine in your cooking to bring balance to yourself through the art of yin and yang. It is filled with delicious recipes. I would highly recommend it.

I would like to thank Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a copy free of charge. This is my honest and unbiased opinion of it.
