What's great is that this is a book that stretches you to try new things (such as goji berries or mung beans) but it's also very practical: there were no ingredients that I couldn't find at my grocery store or at a health food store or nearby Asian market. It is a wonderful introduction to Traditional Chinese Medicine and how it can help you! -All Done Monkey blog
