It usually consists of many rounds of good food and this year I was fortunate enough to be in 3 countries for it (I usually do try to wrangle a trip or two out of that special month).
Lily sent me 'uni' (sea urchin) from Catalina Island via FedEx! It was wonderfully creamy and rich and ocean-y tossed with olive oil, garlic and parsley.
I made an oxtail stew that cooked for hours accompanied by really tasty dill spätzel-like dumplings. Yums!
A Shanghai-nese restaurant in Hong Kong served this amazing steamed garlicky shrimp over rice dish wrapped in a giant lotus leaf. I can still taste the fresh sweetness. Mmm...
A coffee crème brûlée with a generous chocolate 'belly' at Tin Hill in Singapore
February was such a happy month...
