One of the most important steps we can take towards self-empowerment is to take responsibility for our own nourishment. Recipes for Self-healing gives us a set of tools to do this. With simplicity and elegance, this book conveys the wisdom and insights of traditional Chinese medicine and makes them both relevant and accessible to the modern-day westerner.

Recipes for Self-healing includes over hundred exhilarating recipes using familiar foods that reflect the cosmopolitan nature of western cuisine. Its unique desriptions of each recipe's actions enable readers to choose recipes perfectly suited to their own individual needs. Above all the author emphasises dissolving concepts of good and bad foods, the importance of pleasure and listening to the wisdom of the body.
