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.

Wok Star Supper CLUB: Hakkasan Yum Cha 2015 (updated)

March 2, 2015 By Eleanor Hoh Leave a Comment

Year of the Ram is off to a fabulous start for 2015!  Chinese New Year with 70 lucky people at HAKKASAN, Fontainebleau Miami Beach was such a treat! I organized it as part of my Wok Star Supper Club gatherings, to celebrate Asian culture and cuisine with like minded people. If you’ve never had an authentic Yum Cha Chinese style, you have to experience it.  And the best way to do that is at a chic, modern and beautiful restaurant like HAKKASAN.  You get the royal treatment and you leave all the work to the chefs who painstakingly make all the intricate and magnificent dumplings and miniature sculptures!
WokStar-CNY-Hakkasan-dumplingsYum Cha in Chinese literally means, “drink tea” and is a leisurely way to enjoy an afternoon with family and friends over a 4 course 13 item dim sum menu, and that’s what we did yesterday. If you missed it, you can drool over the dishes below.

It was wonderful to see so many who’ve attended my class join me in this celebration and I hope to make this an annual event.  If you want to experience future Wok Star Supper Club events, subscribe to my free newsletter in right sidebar so you’ll be the first to hear about events and get first option to reserve as well as news about my wok cooking classes, resources, meal ideas, tips, techniques and videos to simplify your life!

Thanks so much to Tasting Table, New Times and Miami Herald for spreading the word!
