Why we fell for wok and (spring) roll
This JC article discusses the Chinese New Year with a great recipe for Bang Bang Chicken.
The Chinese believe that each food ingredient has either yin (cooling) or yan (heating) or neutral properties and that there is a direct correlation between the food you eat and the yin yang balance in your body. Season and weather also play their part. Heating food in winter reduces the yin; cooling food in summer counters the yan.

Norwood, the brilliantly innovative Children's charity, have come up with a novel way of raising money : Come Dine At Mine. Organise a dinner party, but suggest that instead of guests bringing you gifts ( that let's face we rarely need or want !) they make a donation to the charity. I held one recently and raised over £600 ! For more information see Norwood's Website.
