My favorite is to stuff them with sticky rice, cook, slice and top with honey or syrup.

That is a lotus root and this is the season to eat them. Boil, steam, stir fry, any way you like.

Moon cakes have just arrived. Just in time for celebrating the Moon Festival on Sept. 19th.

Besides other activities in celebrating the mid-autumn Festival, making and sharing mooncakes is one of the hallmark tradition. In Chinese culture, a round shape symbolizes completeness and unity. Thus, the sharing of round mooncakes among family members signify the completeness and unity of families. In some areas of China, there is a tradition of making mooncakes during the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. The senior person in that household would cut the mooncakes into pieces and distribute them to each family member, signifying family reunion. In contemporary times, however, making mooncakes at home has given way to the more popular custom of giving mooncakes to family members, although the meaning of maintaining familial unity remains.
