The practical implementation of Chinese dietetics for Western cuisine
by Temelie, Barbara, Book (Softcover) 256 Setien, German, 2009
The classic of five element cookingCooking according to the five elements is fun. Because it can be creative, playful, sophisticated and refined - or also very simple when it needs to be done quickly, as is often the case. You will feel how good it is after just a few meals.
Those cravings for sweets quickly disappear and you can finally eat your fill again without putting on weight. In this book, you will find out why warming meat broth and leek soup protect you from colds and why cooling fruit and yoghurt have the exact opposite effect in connection with the thermal and taste effects of the individual foods.
Nutrition according to the five elements is not a new diet, but the contemporary implementation of thousands of years of Chinese nutritional theory - for a long life in good health through enjoyable, wholesome food.
The wide range of recipes with vegetables, cereals, pulses, meat and fish as well as desserts, baked goods and drinks offers the right thing for every taste and every season.
The information on the therapeutic effects of the dishes is helpful for nutritionists and therapists who work with Chinese medicine.Barbara Temelie and Beatrice Trebuth, the successful author duo, have put all their enthusiasm for the unique, undogmatic five-element cuisine and their 20 years of practical experience in their own kitchen and in countless cooking courses into this book. They pass on their knowledge in seminars and training courses.
