Lunar New Year: Chicken and Chive Dumplings

Next Monday 24 January we shall enter the year of the Dragon. This excites me because I was born in the year of the Dragon and can only hope that it means this year will be good.


L and I decided to have a bit of a pre- Lunar New Year feast, complete with home made dumplings. Ok well we cheated with the wrappers but really there is only so much of your Sunday that you can justify not doing the things you need to do to prepare for the week ahead! In anticipation of the feasts ahead I thought I would share our dumpling experience!

India

Just before Christmas, H and I travelled to India for a friend's wedding. We took the opportunity to visit a few other places that I have always wanted to see. So I thought I would share with you some of my favourite foods and memories from the trip!



Kolkata
The wedding was held here over four days, and the food was amazing! So much fresh fish, marinated and served so many different ways. I didn't know the names of most of the fish nor was I sure of the ingredients but when a plate came to the table accompanied by freshly cooked chapati there was no way I was going to refuse!
