⛓️ Recipes for the Pressure Cooker

In Chinese medicine: Liver Overacting on the Spleen · 肝木克脾土

Tension that lodges in your ribs, your gut, and your mood.

Fragrant and lightly cooked, these dishes bring in citrus peel, fennel, dill, mint, basil and turmeric. They suit the Pressure Cooker, who feels most at ease when meals are aromatic and eaten slowly, sitting down. Read more about this type on the Pressure Cooker Archetype page.
