November & December Recipe Schedule

We’re keeping things nice and easy for this busy holiday season, but that doesn’t mean you have to go slow.  Even though we’re only doing one recipe each month, you can use any extra time you have to catch up on some of the recipes you may have missed!

We’ll keep the discussion flowing over on our Facebook page, so make sure to join.

And remember, a wok makes a great holiday gift! We love supporting The Wok Shop, they’ve been great supporters of our group over the years.

October Recipe Schedule

Summer has come and gone and we’re in full on fall mode! With the weather cooling down its time to turn to some heartier dishes. This month we’re making:

• Cousin Zane’s Sichuan Beef, p. 95
• Curried Cauliflower, Napa Cabbage, & Carrots, p. 179

August 2018 Recipe Schedule

Summer is just flying by, and we thought we’d give everyone a bit of a “summer vacation” when it came to the recipe schedule this month.

This August we’ve got only one recipe – Shrimp Dumplings Spring Moon on page 206. The recipe calls for making your own dumpling dough (instructions also on page 206), so you can consider both of them our August assignments. Making dumplings is one of my favorite kitchen tasks, and it’s great to do with a crowd, so this might be a fun recipe for a dinner party!

If you don’t feel like taking a break you can revisit some of these great summer stir-fries, perfect for taking advantage of the abundance of summer produce and giving you less time in front of the hot stove on those sweltering August days:

• Liang Nian Xiu’s Moon Hill Corn and Beans, p. 132
• Florence Lin’s Slow Stir-Fried Red Peppers, p. 143
• Susanna Foo’s Mango Chicken, p. 78
• Spicy Garlic Eggplant, p. 144
• Helen Chen’s Pork and Cucumber, p. 83

As always, post your photos on our Facebook page!
