Book Giveaway: Nancie Mcdermott, Southern Soups & Stews

October 29, 2015 By Eleanor Hoh 5 Comments

I’m thrilled to be giving away 3 books this year to celebrate The Miami Book Fair! To find out more about the Fair and my personal recommendations for where to eat in downtown Miami, visit my blog here. I’ll be giving away the other two books in the next couple of weeks, so come back and check it out! Here’s the first one just in time for fall, I love soups and stews anytime of the year and I live in Florida.
I’m so honored to give away Nancie McDermott’s new cookbook, she connected with me a few years’ back and is such an inspiration. I’m in awe with all she’s accomplished, just thinking about producing a cookbook sends me into a shock wave. I can hardly believe she has published a total of 9 Asian cookbooks so far! I hope I get to catch a spot of lunch with her. What a neat lady, she’s such a go getter, full of great ideas and advice. I got a chance to meet Nancie, Nathalie Dupree and Cynthia Graubart when I introduced and moderated Southern Specialties at the Miami Book Fair this weekend. What an honor to meet these prestigious authors, so in awe of their accomplishments. I feel such a slacker.
Nancie will be on the panel, Southern Specialties, Sunday, Nov.22, 12-1pm,  building 6100.
Southern-Soups-and-Stews-COV-1024x933About Southern Soups & Stews…
Home cooks throughout the American South treasure time-honored recipes for hearty soups and satisfying stews savored year after year. Often passed down through the generations, the dishes detailed in this book are cherished and shared at family gatherings, holiday feasts, and community suppers throughout the seasons. These recipes serve up soups and stews seasoned with history—from Nathalie Dupree’s Lowcountry Okra and Shrimp Gumbo to Summer Squash Soup with Black Pepper and Thyme, to Collard Greens with Pot Likker and Dumplings—offering us a glimpse of how people farmed, cooked, and continue to celebrate life over time.
 
NancieMcdermottAbout Nancie…
Nancie McDermott is a food writer and cooking teacher, and the author of 12 cookbooks. Her passion is researching and celebrating traditional food in its cultural context, and her beloved subjects are two seemingly different places with much in common: the cuisines of Asia and of the American South. Nancie gained her Southern kitchen wisdom as a Piedmont North Carolina native, and her Asian culinary research commenced soon after college, when she was sent to northeastern Thailand as a Peace Corps volunteer. For more about Nancie’s interesting life, click here.

ramHAKKASAN is located inside the iconic world famous Morris Lapidus’ designed Fontainebleau Miami Beach. I’m proud and honored to be associated with Hakkasan, as a cooking teacher, it’s important for me to showcase only restaurants that represent Asian culture and cuisine at its finest.  I only want to bring you the best so you’ll have a wonderful experience to remember, so bring your family and friends and let’s celebrate the Year of the Ram!
HOH WOK CLUB is a celebration of Asian culture and cuisine and a way for cooking students and Wok Star Eleanor Hoh to socialize outside of her Wok Star cooking classes and marketing Wok Star Kits to help folks  succeed in wok cooking and eating healthy while having fun!  These gatherings are also open to anyone who enjoys meeting people and exploring new flavors.  Many who’ve attended have gone back to these restaurants to try other dishes and told friends about them. Over the years, Eleanor has had the honor of building wonderful relationships with the chefs and owners of the restaurants. One of the main reasons Eleanor created HOH WOK CLUB was to support smaller, independent family owned restaurants and help them succeed.
In this case, HAKKASAN is not a small family owned restaurant, it’s a Michellin-star concept with authentic, modern Chinese fare and AAA Four Diamond award winning restaurant. Chef de cuisine Jian Heng Loo (Kenny), originally from Malaysia has worked at prestigious restaurants including the Capella Singapore, a luxury resort, and the G Hotel in Malaysia.  Jian honed his craft over a span of twenty years throughout Asia, he’s a new generation chef that uses his creativity and open mind to innovate the traditional Chinese cuisine.
