"Kung hei fat choy"

"A VERY Special Time with VERY Special Food and VERY Special Friends"

While living and working in Asia we were fortunate to be exposed to a great many culinary customs and traditions although  the Chinese New Year celebration is, we believe, the most tremendous celebration of food and family.  The Kitchen Gods are worshiped and a great many significant foods are consumed throughout the holiday.  It is with out a doubt the most celebrated holiday among the Chinese Culture and we we felt honored to be a part of this experience.  Now that we reside back in the US we continue to celebrate this joyous event each year with our families and friends.

In Celebration with our friends and family of "The Year of the Goat!"
