The Five Elements CookbookThe Practical Implementation of Chinese Nutritional Theory for Western Cooking by Temelie, Barbara, Book (Paperback) 256 Setien, German, 2009 The classic of the five elements cuisineCooking according to the five elements is fun. Because it can be creative, playful, sophisticated and refined - or also very simple, if it is to go quickly as so often. You will feel how good it is after just a few meals. Those nagging cravings for sweets quickly disappear, and you can finally eat your fill without gaining weight. Why warming meat broth and leek soup protect against colds and why cooling fruits and yogurt have exactly the opposite effect, you will learn among other things in this book in connection with the thermal and taste effects of the individual foods. The diet according to the five elements is not a new diet, but the contemporary implementation of the millennia-old Chinese nutritional teachings - for a long life in good health through enjoyable, wholesome food. The wide range of recipes with vegetables, grains, legumes, meat and fish, as well as for desserts, baked goods and drinks, offers the right thing for every taste and every season. The notes on the therapeutic effects of the dishes are 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 at their own stove as well as in countless cooking classes into this book. They pass on their knowledge in seminars and training courses.
