The Lunar New Year in the Kitchens of Three Cooks

The Lunar New Year is a holiday celebrated all over Asia and the Asian diaspora. It's called Chūnjié in China, Tết in Vietnam, and Losar in Tibet, among many more. This year the Lunar New Year falls on February 1 (it typically wades between a day in January and February). The exact date is a moving target year to year because it follows the lunar calendar, matching the cycle of the moon. One thing remains constant: the auspicious foods and traditions that make their way into our kitchens, like spring rolls that look like bars of gold and symbolize wealth for the Chinese New Year and banh chung (sticky rice cakes) representing earth and symbolizing gratitude on Tết. Millions of people around the world celebrate the Lunar New Year, and every culture has their own unique flair for the holiday. That's why this year we asked three of our writers to share their respective traditions, memories, and recipes. Let's See the Menus!
