Overview

Feeling a little stressed, hot, irritated -- too yang? Or perhaps fatigued, bored, unmotivated -- a victim of excess yin? Use this cookbook to rebalance your essential energy.

The Chinese art and science of feng shui reunites with its ancient partner, nutritional medicine, to show readers how to cook and design an eating environment for maximum qi, or life force. Based on the same yin-yang principles as the popular design practice, The Feng Shui Cookbook provides everything that's needed to achieve prosperity and health in the everyday acts of cooking and eating. Using an adapted version of the Feng Shui Ba Gua, the same octagon used by feng shui masters, readers will learn to arrange their kitchen and dining room, plan meals, and naturally achieve health through the simple and proven principle of balance.

Author Elizabeth Miles suggests Fire-Roasted Filet Mignon with Wild Mushroom-Red Wine Sauce for those who seek motivation and peak performance. Or for someone fighting burnout, the yin energy contained in a serving of cool Gingered Sweet Potato Soup is recommended. A delectable slice of Eggplant, Tomato, and Chevre Tart brings out the feminine side of one's nature for contemplation and learning, while Chili-Honey Barbecued Baby Back Ribs unleash masculine, yang energy for daring endeavors or big challenges.
