How can you turn cooking into an ally of your health? The basics of Chinese medicine applied to nutrition allow us to enjoy ourselves while improving our health, mainly thanks to seasonal fruits and vegetables.

The five main flavours are sourness for the liver, bitterness for the heart, sweetness for the spleen, pungency for the lung and saltiness for the kidney. Herein lies all the subtlety of traditional Chinese dietetics: it knows how to blend the flavours of a dish harmoniously to balance its gustatory alchemy, so that we can delight ourselves while doing our body good.

Arranged by season, the tasty and easy-to-make recipes in this book will let you discover and understand how to eat better to improve your physical and mental fitness.
