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.

I’m thrilled Casa Vinicola Zonin USA will host my Wok Star cooking class at their spectacular Miami penthouse loft for a series of three exclusive Art of Wok Cooking Classes that will pair fine Italian wines with Asian cuisine.
On August 21, October 23, and December 18 from 6:30-9:30pm, I will demonstrate my signature no-recipe approach, combining fresh ingredients and only 4 seasonings to create mouthwatering dishes that are simple and healthy. Each class will be a very intimate affair with only 12 guests at $65 per person who will experience this magical event.
The focus of this collaboration is to demonstrate how well Italian wines transcend into any cuisine. So, pairing wines with my Asian cuisine was a perfect challenge to showcase three different wine growing regions in Italy. My scrumptious Rainbow Lettuce Wrap appetizer paired with Zonin Prosecco and Fiji Water will wow guests as they arrive. Next served will be a delicate Shrimp with Baby Bok Choy and Maritake Mushroom which will pair nicely with Masseria Altemura Fiano or Rocca di Montemassi Calasole. My last dish, Tilapia in a Spicy Brown Bean Sauce will be a perfect complement to Castello d’Albola Chianti Classico.
I provide fun and creative cooking tutorials, which give established cooks and novices alike everything they need to cook like a Wok Star. Students will experiment with new flavors and Asian cutting techniques, learn how to mix and match vegetables and proteins for quick one-dish dinners,and receive a handy step-by-step visual roadmap I designed. Guests will also take home a mini Zonin Prosecco as a gift from Casa Vinicola Zonin as well as Giveaways from premium sponsors.
Wok cooking is perfect for crafting simple weeknight dinners with little clean up. My mission is to share my knowledge and love of wok cooking so that anyone can be a Wok Star no matter if they have a busy lifestyleor need to adapt their cooking to their diet. My unique Wok Star Kit includes everything one would need to start practicing their new wok skills at home or at a tailgate party!
