Happy Chinese New Year!

Written By Catherine Frawley

A favourite shoot from last year, a gathering at home to celebrate Chinese New Year!

It’s funny because the last time my family were all together, indoors without worrying about our distance was last February. The kids wanted to start celebrating new things, we made lanterns and learnt about the Chinese Zodiac, drew lucky Chinese symbols and played Chinese music. I confess I hadn’t even heard of Corona Virus. It feels like a different time.

Either way celebrating tiny things and big things with who we can seems all the more important.

I hope this shoot inspires you to take a little time to celebrate. The recipes and images are in the February 2021 issue of The Simple Things magazine. And find the Prawn Toast recipe here
