Chinese New Year

This year is the year of the Dragon, a very auspicious year in the Chinese calendar.  New Year starts on 23 January and the celebrations continue for the next 15 days.  We’re celebrating tomorrow evening with a Chinese Banquet and if you’d like some ideas then check out some of my recipes here or listen again to my Feeding the Family show
