Description

By Livia Kohn

Daoist Dietetics provides an introductory overview of the main characteristics, historical developments, and recipes of the Daoist diet. It begins with two analytical parts: first a section that discusses traditional Chinese medicinal diets, the foundation of Daoist eating; then a more specific part on the theory, history, and practices of Daoist nutrition. The book also presents translations of four medieval texts on bigu, the Daoist way of transforming ordinary eating into living on qi, vital energy. It concludes with a selection of recipes, divided according to types of dishes, such as breakfast cereals, salads, soups, and desserts.
