La Cocina de Los Cinco Elementos

This unique cookbook combines the doctrine of Feng Shui with the 5-element nutrition theory. Both ideas, originally from China, offer a holistic cooking and eating approach for better health and happiness. The first third of the book offers an overview of the Feng Shui theory of enhancing the free flow of "chi" in the kitchen. The right arrangement of furniture, harmonious colors, and materials are some of the important elements. The remaining chapters feature recipes divided according to the 5 elements - wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. An emphasis is placed on balancing the yin and yang of food, seasons, and more.
