Entering the autumn, I have tried some signature dishes in this season, which can help replenish water in our body and prevent some frequently-occurring illnesses in the fall. All the ingredients I have chosen like fungus and lotus root are healthy and nutritious foods that suit this season. 

 

oming into the autumn, it’s getting cold and windy, and the dry wind is seemingly absorbing water from our body. The temperature gap between day and night widens, and cold nights can be uncomfortable.  

In the dry season, we may have no appetite, or have a dry throat. So at this time, foods that contain a lot of moisture are a good choice. It’s better to eat some delicate dishes with flavors of sourness and sweetness, instead of spicy ones, and some fluid-filled foods, instead of dry ones.

Take time to stew a bowl of porridge or palatable soup that does a lot of good to our health, physically and mentally.

I feel joyful when cooking, as I enjoy the process with a peaceful heart, concentrating on food only. It’s also a way to relax after a busy day of work.
