Rose Cheung and Genevieve Wong are the authors behind the Simon & Schuster bestseller “Healing Herbal Soups: Boost Your Immunity and Weather the Seasons with Traditional Chinese Recipes.” Outside of teaching people about Traditional Chinese Medicine, the mother-daughter duo resides in Los Angeles, where Genevieve produces television and Rose runs various enterprises in real estate and solar energy.
Wong also co-authored a cook book with her mom, Rose Cheung, “Healing Herbal Soups,” that details traditional and medicinal Chinese recipes with ingredients not typically found in western dishes like fish maw, hawthorn and red dates.
“Ten years ago, if we had written this book and tried to do media, traditional Chinese medicine would have been treated very disrespectfully,” Wong said. “Now it’s considered a holistic approach. Oftentimes our readers will message me with a picture of the soups that they’ve made from our book … they’re not embarrassed.”

Mother and daughter duo, Rose & Genevieve, both grew up with Traditional Chinese Medicine. As a mother and entrepreneur, Rose inherited her fondness for herbal soup from her own mother, who grew up in a very traditional Chinese family in Hong Kong. After moving to the US for college, Rose married and settled down in Southern California. She owned a Chinese restaurant with her husband for a while, but it was her passion for Chinese medicine and herbs that were always at the forefront of her mind. In 2009, she sponsored the development of an herbal formula used to treat diabetes at the Macau University of Science and Technology. The product was subsequently patented and is currently available through select Traditional Chinese Medicine clinics in Asia.
