Chinese-and-Western-culture-V2

Without a sound, December steps into our life. With the new year approaching day after day, the enthusiasm of people from around the world about new year is becoming higher and higher.  We will welcome the coming of Heavy Snow and Winter Solstice during this month, which means that the weather is becoming colder and colder. For many Chinese people, eating dumpling and drinking mutton soup have been a ritual to drive away coldness in the day of Winter Solstice. During the 24th and 25th of December, you will find Santa Claus in almost every street and lane, even at home, family members sit under the Christmas tree to exchange gifts. In the last day of December, what almost everyone would do is to is to wait for the bell of new year, then make the first wish for the new year.
Can we break the convention to celebrate such a special December in a unique way?

Plan 1:
Learn to make several western dishes, and show your cooking skills during parties.(Recipes:Caesar Salad, Steak with Mashed Potatoes + Red Wine + Borscht)

If all above program can be realized within a month, is that a big surprise?
 
From December on, Cook In Shanghai and City Chef will cooperate to host a series of interactive activities between Chinese and western culture. At a pleasant weekend, you come to City Chef to learn western food from a French food chef and enjoy the charm of traditional Chinese culture with Cook in Shanghai team. During the activity, you can make new friends from all around the world.
 
The world is so big, but it’s small sometimes. Regardless of race and nationality, the more you communicate and listen, the more love-filling smiling faces you will come across.
 
This winter, we meet each other, so we’re not cold at all.
