Chinese Healing Foods

While many Chinese foods are familiar to Americans, their health benefits are for the most part unrealized. Author Lynn Sonberg is out to reveal the many wellness components associated with the foods.

This volume introduces readers to these benefits, as well as teaches them how to shop, prepare, and cook healthful meals.

Lynn Sonberg is a bestselling author of books on diet and nutrition.
