Miami Historic Haven: Patch of Heaven Sanctuary hosts Wok Star class

September 2, 2018 By Eleanor Hoh Leave a Comment

Ready for a unique Wok Star experience?  Start with my cooking class followed by a fascinating tour of  Patch of Heaven Sanctuary, a hidden jewel in South Miami! You’ll feel like you’re in Asia, surrounded by ancient relics and luscious foliage. You’ll end the afternoon with flavored beverages and Asian pastries. I’m so excited to share this hidden treasure with you. I first visited POH when I attended a Yoga Retreat and spent a day there taking the tour. What a relaxing experience it was and met many like minded people I’ve stayed in touch with. 

Majestic Entrance to Patch of Heaven Sanctuary with huge, gorgeous Poinciana tree.
Why I chose Patch of Heaven Sanctuary to host my class?
My classes are usually held in upscale kitchen design showrooms because a beautiful environment sets the tone for learning and creativity. POH is so serene and peaceful, you’ll immediately feel like you’ve stepped into a beautiful retreat out in the countryside. You’ll be ready to learn ANYTHING in these surroundings.  I am so honored to be hosted by them. 
Beautiful wood tables where class will be held!
Courtyard beside the area where the class will be held.
Why Patch of Heaven Sanctuary is so unique?
You won’t find anything like this in Miami. It’s like stepping back in time, as if you’re in Asia. Everywhere there are Buddhas and Asian relics, or timeless pieces picked up from all over the world. Cozy spaces, wood benches to sit, meditate and be in the moment.  
There are a few more interesting projects in the works which are not featured here like the Bat towers and Beekeeping project. You’ll hear the history and fascinating stories about POH. I’ve taken this tour personally and it’s definitely so worth it.

There’s the most beautiful Koi pond, a couple of houses with adorable indoor waterfalls, swimming pool and a horse barn. It’s TOTALLY a magical space. I’m only sharing a small portion of the property because I want you to experience the wonders yourself. You’ll be blown away by its extraordinary beauty at every turn. Bring your camera, you’ll want to remember this place and share with others. 

This unique property encompasses tropical hardwood hammock forest, pine rock-land, exotic gardens and historic structures built by the Matheson family in 1964.




Cost of POH tour?
Cost is $25 which goes directly to POH to help with upkeep of their property. There will be infused water to hydrate as well as Asian pastries on your return. 

Purchase my Wok Star class EARLY!
This is a first come, first serve basis. Do not put off till last minute and be disappointed you cannot get in. TOTAL is $110: $85 for class, $25 for tour. This is a complete experience.

Keep in mind, you can book their various spaces for weddings, photo shoots, Quinces, Corporate events, launches, musical events, food festivals, well, for anything you want with a different vibe! There’s plenty of parking too, so rare in Miami.

Cooking Classes in Florida & Beyond!

June 7, 2015 By Eleanor Hoh Leave a Comment

I’ve gathered a comprehensive list of cooking classes in S. Florida for you! Cooking classes are a great way to meet new people especially if you’re new in town (you really get to meet the “locals”.) There’s nothing like learning a style of cooking in a short period of time.

Reading a recipe from a cookbook sounds so boring and lonely. It’s you with a list of ingredients and directions to follow but a good instructor can make a dish come to life and show you tips and tricks that make all the difference between a mediocre dish and an outstanding dish!

WokStar-Carolina-150 WokStar-Class-Alno-8.23-group WokStar-William-EleanorHoh-stirfry-500
Attended a class you’ve enjoyed and it’s not listed here? Share in the comments and I’ll check it out and add to the list.

As far as I know, I’m the only cooking teacher in Florida offering a unique visual roadmap to cooking rather than teaching recipes, hence you only need one cooking class with me!  However, I am developing classes to show more wonderful ways of using your cast iron wok!  This will only be available to Wok Stars (i.e. folks who already know my visual roadmap and own their own Wok Star Kit.)
Classes for Italian Asian fusion, making fritatta in the oven, curry salmon, my mom’s chicken curry and from S. E. Asia, Malaysian street food Char Kuey Teow, pineapple fried rice, pork belly stews, easy soups, the list is endless.

If you’re a Wok Star and interested in a particular type of class, shoot me a suggestion in the comment!

A roving pop-up dinner club exploring the food and culture of the Middle East is a collaboration between writer Sara Liss and Maude Eaton, a food and beverage consultant and founder of South Florida Foodies.
“Not many people realize that Arabic food influenced Southern Italy but it’s there in the culinary history of Sicily. So we’re focusing on that intersection of Arabic spices and techniques with traditional Sicilian cooking,” says Liss.

I’ve attended their supper club and it’s a lot of fun with great company and outstanding food! I wish I could attend but taking a food photography, writing course, see below.
