Upcoming Cambodian New Year Celebrations

                        Eat, Dance, Eat, Pray, Eat, Celebrate                         
            
Cambodians celebrate the new year from April 14th-17th.  The Cambodian American community here in the U.S. loves a party, and manages to roll the festivities into its observances at the temple. 

Next week there will be ample opportunity to dip your culinary finger into Cambodian culture.  For celebrations, foods, and cultural events, click here.

We make this recipe every year, adapted from The Elephant Walk Cookbook.  It's a sweet rice dumpling holding a treasure of palm sugar, jackfruit, or banana, then rolled in toasted coconut or sesame seeds.
