Eat healthy, eat fresh

For the Chinese, festivals are incomplete without food. The biggest celebrations every year must revolve around the Lunar New Year and China Daily's food team taps into the mother lode to find out food trends for the coming Year of the Horse.

No one understands what's in and what's passe better than chefs. Often, they subtly nudge diners toward certain ingredients or food styles, and they are the ones who guard the health and happiness of those who eat out.

We ask the chefs some hard questions about favorite dishes ordered during the Lunar New Year, what they feed their families and what we can expect in restaurants all over China in the next 12 months.
