Happy Chinese New Year!

This week we have welcomed in the Chinese New Year! Here at Vanilla in Allseasons we love any opportunity for a celebration & a chance to create a feast. If you don’t have any plans this weekend then why not create a wonderful Chinese dish in honour of seeing in the new year. Whether you’d prefer to have a quiet night in with friends, family & loved ones, or you’re going to throw a fabulous dinner party there are many flavourful dishes to choose from. If a dinner party is more your style then you could challenge yourself by creating several dishes with different meats, spices and textures to please all of your guests. A great addition to any dinner party is whole fish, this recipe below from Today.com gives you everything you need to serve this wonderful fish.

Whole Fish: Sweet chile sauce 1 two-inch knob of ginger 3 garlic cloves 1/2 cup rice vinegar 1/4 cup sugar 1/3 cup sambal oelek Chili paste Next, 'steam whole fish until just barely cooked through and then deep fry in a skillet filled with at least 3 cups of oil until the fish is crispy. Remove from oil and place on lettuce leaves and top with sweet chile sauce.'

These red velvet and white chocolate chip cookies are a sweet love themed treat to share on Valentine's Day. Simply add food colouring to your preferred cookie recipe to create this look. You can swap the white chocolate buttons for any other of your favourite chocolate chips, raisins or fruit to create the cookie of your choice. 

 

 

There are many complex recipes which you can make to impress your loved one. However, if you are not a fantastic chef, then there are still many options which you can use to express your love. In fact, if you aren't a culinary expert but still make the effort to try, don't worry as it's the thought that counts! A simple egg and toast with a heart shape cut out of the centre is a sure fire way of letting that significant person know you care.
