Yue · Forty Days

Chinese postpartum care. Yue is a 40-day companion for zuo yue zi (坐月子), built for Chinese-heritage mothers living far from their culture. It gives you the structure your mother or grandmother would have given you, in a kitchen that is nothing like theirs. FOUR PHASES, FORTY DAYS Confinement is not one long month of the same food. Yue follows the traditional four-phase progression: Renew, Restore, Build, Nourish. Each day shows you what is traditionally eaten at that stage, and why. RECIPES YOU CAN ACTUALLY COOK HERE Ginger vinegar pig trotter. Sesame oil chicken. Red date and longan tea. Every recipe carries its Chinese name, its story, and a method someone can follow while you rest. A SHOPPING LIST YOUR PARTNER CAN USE Yue turns the week's recipes into one list, sorted by shop, with prices from SeeWoo, Wing Yip and Ocado in the UK, and Wah Nam Hong and Albert Heijn in the Netherlands.…
