Features: Red dates and red beans are known for their blood-nourishing properties, while mung beans, lily bulbs, and white chrysanthemum can dispel summer heat, quench thirst, and promote fluid production. Goji berries improve eyesight, sesame seeds promote black hair growth, and aloe vera enhances beauty... These benefits are well-known to people. In summer, almost every household boils mung bean and lily bulb soup. However, if a professional pastry chef designs the ingredients for you based on the properties and flavors of various foods and teaches you how to cook these desserts, the effects can be significantly different. This book allows you to prepare ingredients not only based on your body's needs but also from the perspective of enjoying delicious flavors. Desserts differ from main dishes in that their ingredients are mostly common and the preparation is very simple—boiling, stewing, steaming, or baking can easily achieve the desired results, and you can replicate them perfectly in your home kitchen.
