In Chinese astrology the year in which you were born partly determines your characteristics.  Well, it's a little more complicated than that but it's still quite fun to compare yourself and those you know with the animal which presents the year of their birth.  Why not celebrate the Chinese New Year by whisking up an authentic Chinese meal.  Visit our  Chinese Section or Dim Sum page for lots of recipe ideas. We've also got a special Canton Cooking by Country section if you want prepare a truly authentic menu.
