In reply to Alba.

I’m slowly working on the postpartum recipes and I plan to make a summary post when I have a small collection of recipes.
Not sure if it will become a section on my blog, since I don’t have that many recipes yet. Thanks so much for making the suggestion! I will definitely consider it. Now I’m 6 months in postpartum and I’m no where to be fully recovered, so definitely will be working on those recipes for a while 🙂

Hi, I really loved the idea even if the lily flower is a bit difficult to find near me. I’ve seen you have mentioned this recipe as well as the lotus root and pork ribs soup for the postpartum period using traditional chinese medicine. Would it be possible to have a small section dedicated to it? I find it quite interesting and would love to try it when the time comes but it is not widely known or found, specially if it is english content. Thank you very much and hope your family is healthy once again.

In reply to AliceK. Usually dried lily flowers last very long time (like years, but they will slowly lose fragrance). The dried ones will look quite brown, and the color lightens up once you soak them. A lot of time if you see very pale lily flowers at grocery stores, they are actually the bleached type. The best way is to soak them. They should be earthy and does not have other funny smells.

Hi, Maggie! I hope you and your family are feeling better. I have everything for this recipe, but my lily flowers lok much browner than yours. I think they are old. What kind of shelf life do they have? How do I tell if they are too old to use?

I love your recipes and your instructions. Could you put together a “Chinese pantry” list of all the various ingredients you use, showing the English name and the Chinese characters name? I go to a good Asian market, but many items show only the Chinese characters. Having a “pantry list” that I can refer to in one place would be more than fantastic! I hope everyone feels better soon! Happy 100 days!
