A WOK THROUGH THE BASICS OF STIR FRYING
Linda Bladholm
"It looks easy, and it is. Students' faces light up once they grasp the concept, then they dig into the dishes, served with steamed rice. Already they are talking about the endless possibilities and combinations they will stir-fry at home. Hoh's mission is accomplished."

"The trick of her system, she says, is that it's not about memorizing recipes but about learning techniques and exploring flavors so you can mix and match them at will. 'Once you get the picture of the process in your head, you'll be able to focus on the creative side of cooking.' "

Tiger Beer
Wok Star Tour
October, 2007

Kicking off the Asian Lunar New Year, Eleanor visited eight Sweetbay Supermarkets in Tampa-St. Petersburg metropolitan area. Tiger Beer sponsored the tour and created a sweepstakes to give away thirty Wok Star Cooking Kits.

A great event to get a taste of Asian culture. People from all over the world come together for the dragon boat races. Eleanor gave a presentation and also donated certificates to attend her classes. Thanks to Dawn Cope for taking photo. Dawn was there with Lily, who was adopted from China.

National
Adoption Day Picnic

Palm Beach Post video.

It's been a lifelong goal of Eleanor's to help orphans by offering free wok classes to American parents. It’s a great family activity to explore Asian culture and foods but will also help the kids appreciate their heritage. Thanks to Dawn & Jacob Cope for introducing me to this wonderful South Florida Asia Group. They adopted two adorable and beautiful little girls, Lily and Rose. Dawn’s blog about them is very endearing.

Hoh Wok Club

Hoh Wok Club, a bi-monthly gathering is an opportunity for Eleanor's students and anyone interested to celebrate Asian culture and try new eateries. Her aim is to create a tasting sampler at a great value. It's an excellent way to be introduced to what the restaurant has to offer and gives the chef a chance to talk about his style of cooking.

Tiger Beer 3rd Annual Chili Crab Festival

August, 2006

An amazing Singapore-like street fair attended by about 5,000 who enjoy Southeastern food stalls, kickboxing, lion dancers, carnival games and live bands. Why Chili Crab? It’s Singapore’s national favorite dish and always paired with an ice, cold Tiger Beer.

Coconut Grove Art Fest Culinary Pavilion 2007 & 2008

It's been an honor for Eleanor to present at the Coconut Grove Art Festival Culinary Pavilion two years running. Always huge and attentive crowds eager to learn.

Blogs
Both Trina and Paula have full-time jobs, so I am very impressed how they manage to squeeze time to work on their blogs. I take my hat off to them, keep up the good job. It's great to have people so dedicated to spreading the word about good food. They really captured the essence of my class in their reviews.

Trina Sargalski's blog, Miami Dish, the dish on all things edible and local, not only wrote a wonderful review about Eleanor's class after she attended with her husband, Dave but also produced an incredible slideshow as well as an audio interview. She focuses on foods grown locally, preferably organic.

Paula Nino's Mango & Lime is a blog about food and eating in Miami. She also wrote a fantastic review after attending with her boyfriend, Dave. Paula has a wonderful writing style that’s easy to read yet full of information.

Tiger Beer Superbowl, Finnegan's River, Jan. 2007

Eleanor was invited to do cooking demonstrations paired with Tiger Beer for a VIP Reception hosted by Anheuser-Busch during the Superbowl celebrations.

Chinese New Year 93

Trying to cook with a flat bottom wok on an electric stove resulted in some “soupy” stir frys. An inferior wok and inadequate heat are reasons that motivated Eleanor to develop her Wok Star Kit and portable butane Gas Stir Fry Stove setup. Quite a difference from the Macy’s presentation in 2007.

Intl. Swimming Hall of Fame

“Dreaming of Beijing”
Asian Cultural Festival May 2008

The 38th Annual Diving Extravaganza kicked off the preview to the Beijing Olympics with top divers from over 24 countries competing.

ISHOF is the mecca and intl. showplace for swimming, diving, water polo and synchronized swimming. It contains the world's largest collection of aquatic memorabilia, with videos and interesting tidbits. Eleanor met Bruce Wigo, President and CEO of ISHOF through his Chinese wife, Janet during their auditions for TV commercials.

Miami Dade Public Library

Asia Pacific Heritage Month 2007

Thirty Miami Dade Libraries carry Eleanor’s Hoh Wok Mei Video so it was fitting for her to make a personal appearance during Asia Pacific Heritage Month. The head librarian said he had never seen the kids so quiet for a speaker.
