Moon Cakes * 慶中秋賀團圓 * Happy Moon Festival

Mooncakes are as important to festivities as turkey is to Thanksgiving and latkes are to Hanuka. The Mid-Autumn Festival -- when the moon is at its fullest and brightest -- became an official celebration in China during the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD).

The term "mooncake" was first found in 1274 AD in author Wu Zimu's "Book of Dreams," and the first cookbook on how to prepare mooncakes was published in 1792. While there are many variations of mooncakes, a soft pastry filled with sweet lotus seed or red bean paste and savory salted duck egg yolk is mostly faved.
