Chinese New Year is almost here! While the family will be getting together for lunch at Chef Chu’s to celebrate the holiday (and the one-month birthday of my brother and his wife’s newborn), I got a head start on the festivities. How? As you can probably guess, I prepared turnip cake for the first time – and the experiment was an unexpected success….
Focaccia with Cherry Tomatoes and Red Onions
Guess what? I’m in the Big Apple right now! Truth be told, I’m here for business, but I did fly in a day early to play tourist. A big thank you to my coworker, Jenn, for being the quintessential host and sharing good conversation over good food at bartaco, Jack’s Wife Freda (can’t wait to recreate the hot sauce and chicken kebab, couscous and chopped salad entrée) and PN Pizza.
