Happy Chinese New Year to you! This year is the year of the horse. The Koala is actually a horse so I suppose this is his year. We’re heading to my parents house for a celebratory feast, though I’m sure every Chinese restaurant the world over will be packed this weekend so if you’d like to take up the chance for a Chinese feast, make sure you book ahead.

With a new month comes a new edition of Our Growing Edge.

Thank you to all the bloggers who submitted to last month’s event. It’s always a delight seeing what others are pushing themselves with each month and sharing tips, failures and inspirations. Check this space for the round up by Louise at Crumbs and Corkscrews.

The host for February is Kindra from California Cavegirl Kindra. Kindra eats and cooks as clean as possible, following a mostly Paleo, grain-free, gluten-free, raw dairy, locavore mission. I’m always looking out for local food producers and celebrating local eating is good for every community.

Our Growing Edge is a celebration of new food related experiences. If you have a blog and are looking at eating or cooking something new this month, submit your post here. More information about the event can be found on the Our Growing Edge Page here.
