Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Chinese Herb Cooking for Health (Paperback)
I think this book contains a lot of nice recipe, however, some of the herbal medicines are probably hard to find in oversea. It's not something you would have bought typically and you will have to buy a few types. At the end, you end up not trying to cook the dishes as much.
