Chinese New Year Feast, with Carrie Chen

Bring your family to this hands-on class taught by local Chinese-cuisine expert Carrie Chen, who will teach you how to make the classic dishes for Chinese New Year reunion dinner while explaining what each dish represents.

“A Festival for the Family” – that’s how the Chinese refer to their New Year. Getting together and sharing quality family time over a good meal is significant in all cultures, and especially important in the Chinese culture. There’s no time better to celebrate and gather than during Chinese New Year. The New Year’s Eve dinner is called the “reunion dinner,” and is believed to be the most important meal of the year. Not only do the dishes themselves matter, but the preparation and ways of serving and eating the food all hold particular meaning.

Carrie will explain, demonstrate and guide students in making dumplings (longevity), spring rolls (wealth), fish (prosperity), tangyuan (family togetherness), and niangao (higher position).

These classic, easy-to-learn recipes are perfect for you to share with your family this holiday season or any time of the year.

(Please note that all students who sign up for this class are expected to participate in food preparation, cooking, and eating.)
