Double happiness for the Chinese New Year
Gung hei fat choy! In the Chinese zodiac, the years progress through a
dozen astrological signs, different animals possessing auspicious
meanings for coming year and for those born during that time.
Just over a month ago, you probably swore that you never wanted to cook
another big dinner party again. But, now that the exhaustion is fading
into memory, it's time to start entertaining again.
"Potatoes or rice?" That's one of the most common questions home cooks
ask themselves, or their families, when preparing stews or braises,
those perfect dinner main courses for delivering warmth and satisfaction
on a cold winter's night.
