Fritillaria and Honey Steamed Pear

Why people make this steamed pear

You know the feeling: the cold itself is gone, your nose has cleared up, you feel almost human again — yet there is still that nagging dry cough that just will not quit. In traditional Chinese food therapy, this leftover cough is thought to arise from residual heat lingering in the lungs combined with some dryness. Nourilo has recommended this little steamed-pear remedy for decades. It is as simple as it is comforting: sweet, warm, and quite pleasant to eat.
