In the Gilmore Park Church Community Kitchen, we helped Karen to make few hundreds of wonton for the community meal. Karen decided to serve Chinese dish during the Chinese New Year event. We were told that the community meal crowd applauded when it was announced during the previous meal.
Karen made the wonton using chicken as some of the people at the community meal do not take pork. Karen used organic chicken broth to make the soup and added bak choy and mushroom to complete the soup.

Julie’s second dish is Chestnut Braised Chicken. Late fall and winter is the season for chestnut. I love the roasted chestnut sold at the sidewalk during the cold winter. The piping hot, soft, crumbly and sweet chestnut is so heart warming in a cold day.

We had Julie demonstrating in the South Arm Community Kitchen again. Julie, who works as a Chinese Language teacher, told us that her students always ask her when her dish will appear in chowtimes again. For us, we still have not quite gotten over it that there are people actually looking forward to our postings.

Karen demonstrated to the Gilmore Park Church community kitchen a Roasted Chicken with Apple Stuffing which she will be preparing for the community meal the next day. The original recipe has bacon in it but Karen tries not to include pork in the meal as to respect the dietary restriction of some of the people who come for the community meal.

Jean’s second dish is Baked Chicken with Pineapple. Chicken goes well with pineapple. The pineapple juice helps to tenderize the chicken.

Zoe is a new member of the Caring Place Community Kitchen. This is her second time attending this kitchen and she is so courages to share with us two recipes. We certainly need more of such members. Many times, new members are too shy to show off their cooking skills and they always say they come to learn. The recipes she shared with us are Spicy Chicken Salad and Chicken Rice.

Julie made two Taiwanese dishes. The first dish is Hong-Zao Chicken Salas. Hong-Zao is red fermented glutinous rice paste. I personally have not use this ingredient before. We were told that we might be able to find Hong-Zao in T&T or some other Chinese groceries stores.
