Fermented Rice

Works by winners of the Bologna La Gazzetta d'Or and the Golden Tripod Award from Italy
What are some of your memories of the Lunar New Year holidays?

Fermented glutinous rice tastes sweet and sour.
During the preparation process, glutinous rice is cooked and fermented.
After being tempered and settled by temperature,
Only then can the flavor be released little by little.

Relationships between people are like fermented rice wine.
After a lot of getting to know each other and adjusting to each other,
From strangers to acquaintances, the relationship only gets better with time.

What holidays do you remember?
What are the traditional foods for these days?
What food evokes a memory for you?
Open this book and relive the flavors you miss most.
