Foodthink, together with the farm friends of the Beijing Organic Farmers’ Market, presents a “Spring Festival Recipe Collection” made with their own produce.
This collection has no formulas measured to the gram or the minute, no showy or complicated techniques.
What it has instead is a quiet certainty in the ingredients, and simple, homespun advice spoken as if to family.
Thoughtfully chosen ingredients don’t need you to wrack your brain. A clean, easy method, plus just the right temperature — that’s all it takes.
In this recipe collection, every dish has a real person standing behind it—
each farm friend knows exactly where their produce shines, and how to cook it in a way that does that goodness justice.
When a block of tofu can state its name, a chicken can recite its résumé, and a radish dares to tell you not to peel it — good flavour takes care of itself.
From the second to the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, six farm friends’ Spring Festival dishes, one per day.
The Second Day of the Lunar New Year: Steamed Free-range Pork
The Third Day of the Lunar New Year: Super Stir-fried Chicken
Grow with care, cook with ease, eat with confidence.
