Remembering Dad on Father’s Day!
Here’s a tribute to my Dad, a non-traditional China man, dapper dresser, entrepreneur, foodie and fab provider. Oh, he was pretty eccentric too.
I wish I had a photo of my Dad cooking, he wore an apron and really got into it! He drove my mom nuts because he’d use only stems of veggies & the most expensive ingredients.  He’d like my simple but tasty Salmon Bok Choy Soup.

Mother's Day, Asian Pacific Heritage Month, Miami River Wall

By 2 Comments

Miami River Wall, newest venue to
host Wok Star cooking classes

I’m very excited to announce Miami River Wall is my newest venue to host my Wok Star cooking classes and just in time to celebrate Mother’s Day and Asian Pacific Heritage month which is in May. I want to dedicate this month to my mom who is responsible for teaching me wok cooking and introducing me to using a lightweight, cast iron wok!

So, what is Miami River Wall? Peter Kastan and Bob Pelligrini started their first vertical plant wall based on Frenchman, Patrick Blanc’s concept. Here’s a small segment of Peter last weekend at Fairchild Tropical Food and Garden Festival during his Pecha Kucha talk.

Lovely to see Peter Kastan with wife Mei and son.

But they took it one step further and recently added a new wall with herbs, chilies and edible flowers – all grown hydroponically i.e. no soil, just water and nutrients. How perfect for my cooking classes because I like to use fresh ingredients.


Peter switch on the lights for the herb wall
I like this living wall better than having a piece of art because it’s constantly changing instead of being 2D static. It’s also a very refreshing and cool idea and at the same time eco-friendly and green!
Mei is responsible for planting the walls!

Even though I put my cilantro in a jug of water and put a bag over it to keep it longer, I still can’t use it fast enough. How I would love to have a fresh herb, chili wall. Well, at least on days I’m giving my class, I’ll get to spend time with it.

Come join me for a Wok Star cooking class where I show you my simple, NO-RECIPE technique using my Wok Star Kit. And with only a few fresh ingredients and seasonings, dinners are easy and quick with very little cleanup! There’ll be 4 stir fry combinations savored with Gancia Prosecco and Fiji Water.

If you love to express yourself, show off to your date, or learn a new approach to making weeknight dinners, this class is for you! Cooking is more than just about food, it’s about creating experiences and memories with family and friends…

Anyone can be a Wok Star!

Dads can be Wok Stars too!

For this Father’s Day, I want to thank my Dad for giving me the gift of teaching my cooking style to people around the world!

Show your appreciation for your Dad and treat him to my Wok Star Cooking Class he’ll treasure for the rest of his life!

Just a bit of background about my Dad’s cooking style…
My Dad and Mom’s cooking styles were very different. Mom is a home cook and I learned to cook from her but my Dad had a unique style all of his own. He had a repertoire of a few dishes but REALLY made them well. He was very eccentric and used expensive gourmet ingredients that would give my Mom heart palpitations. Oops, that’s another blog for another time, nudge me to write it.
