The book of jook

by Bob Flaws

This is a book about Chinese medicinal porridges. The word porridge in Cantonese is "jook". This consists of foods often cooked overnight with Chinese medicinal herbs added. The foods are easy to digest which conserves energy (that could be used up in digesting difficult-to-digest-foods), reduces stress on the body, and promotes vitality and long life. The recipes are easy to incorporate into one's diet.
