Details
Recipes for Elemental Nourishment is designed to stand on its own, yet it also serves as the perfect companion to Elemental Nourishment. You don’t need to read the practitioner guide first — each book is complete by itself — but together they create a full pathway: Elemental Nourishment offers the guiding principles, while Recipes for Elemental Nourishment brings those principles to life through teas, broths, porridges, soups, and stews.
Inside this companion cookbook, you’ll find preparations that are simple, adaptable, and rooted in lineage.
Each recipe is designed to meet the body where it is, offering nourishment that can be woven into any elemental protocol. You’ll explore:
Teas and infusions for seasonal transitions, emotional clarity, and organ support
Porridges that ground and stabilize, with grain and legume variations for different constitutions
Soups and stews that layer herbs, roots, and minerals for deep cellular nourishment
Broths — bone, mushroom, seaweed, and vegetable — as foundational elixirs for gut, immune, and adrenal resilience
These vessels of transformation turn the principles of Elemental Nourishment into daily practice, allowing you to taste the medicine behind the teachings.
"Dear Dr. Michele,
I would like to thank you so much for the healing recipes. I was having a flare-up of ulcerative colitis after a course of antibiotics for pneumonia. I had been doing so well without any UC symptoms for a few years with regular acupuncture. This time I was in a lot of pain, with urgent diarrhea and abdominal cramping. The diet you recommended helped me get back to normal. The white rice congee, broths and teas made a huge impact. I was able to slowly introduce more fibrous foods. After a few months I was back to normal. No hospital stays, no ER!
Thanks so much for your help."
John G.
"Accessible for both practitioner and layperson alike, this book brings the ancient healing power of the five elements into our kitchens and homes".
