Make Dad a Wok Star for Father's Day!

June 6, 2014 By Eleanor Hoh Leave a Comment

Want to make Dad a Wok Star?  If you live in Miami, now’s your chance because next Thursday, June 12 from 6:30-9:30pm, even inexperienced dads will have a chance to wok up 3 scrumptious dishes paired with wines from different regions in Italy.  This class will be a very intimate and unique event with only 12 guests.

Casa Vinicola Zonin loft
Casa Vinicola Zonin loft
Casa Vinicola Zonin USA is thrilled to host Wok Star Eleanor Hoh at their swanky penthouse loft to celebrate a special Father’s Day event.  The collaboration between Casa Vinicola Zonin USA and Wok Star Cooking Classes is to demonstrate how well Italian wines transcend into any cuisine.
Little intro chat!
Wines from 3 different regions!
Bok Choy & Oyster Mushroom
Tilapia in Spicy Brown Bean Sauce
Wok Star Kit Bundle for Dad!
Wine List
Mini Zonin Prosecco Giveaways

Picture dad when he realizes Wok Star’s easy no recipe approach keep things simple and makes cooking creative and fun. He’ll explore new flavors and learn Asian cutting techniques, how to mix and match vegetables and proteins for quick one-dish dinners with only four seasonings and very little cleanup. Perfect for busy dads and adaptable to any diet.
The menu includes an all time favorite, Rainbow Lettuce Wrap appetizers, which is paired with Zonin Prosecco and wow guests in a meet and mingle! Next, a delicate Shrimp with Baby Bok Choy and Oyster Mushrooms pairs nicely with Rocca di Montemassi Astraio. Lastly and most popular is the Tilapia in a Spicy Brown Bean Sauce in an unusual pairing with Castello d’Albola Chianti Classico, which complements the fish beautifully.
Best part of this class is the Wok Star Kit Bundle which includes everything dad needs to go home with to become a Wok Star right away! The most rewarding part for Hoh as a cooking teacher is hearing success stories from Wok Stars who love to show off their slicing, dicing and stir fry technique to family and friends! That’s what being a Wok Star is all about.
Here’s a post about how eccentric my Dad was, Remembering Dad on Father’s Day!  So glad he knew about metals because he helped me avoid an expensive mistake with my cast iron wok when I first started out.
Sign dad up for this special Father’s Day event here.
Thanks to Miami.com, Miami Culinary Tours and Simply Q for including me in your Father’s Day Roundup!

Aventura Wine and Food Festival 2014

January 12, 2014 By Eleanor Hoh 3 Comments

So it seems every single city has its own wine and food festival and today Aventura presented its first festival on a beautiful sunny day. The concept is a great idea because it’s a fabulous way to hang out with friends, taste a lot of different cuisines from local restaurants and try a variety of wines all in one place! Just be aware of long lines to enter and at the food and wine tents and wear appropriate clothing and shoes!

I only managed to get tastings from 3 restaurants: Mister Collins (Bal Harbour); Toro Toro (Pan Asian fusion inside downtown Intercontinental Hotel) and Fish Fish (North Miami). All served ceviche cause it’s the easiest dish to serve! So disappointed Chef Ryan Harrison didn’t have cooking facilities for his spiced popcorn at the Mas Vino tent, maybe next year!

September Miami Events

August 30, 2013 By Eleanor Hoh 10 Comments

SEPTEMBER IS MIAMI SPICE
Hakkasan: We went for their delicious Dim Sum served at lunchtime on weekends!  A little tip: mention to server at the beginning that you want your dishes to come out staggered so they don’t get cold while you are still working on the previous dish!  Dim Sum should be eaten hot.  The decor is magnificent.  Click here for details.
Zuma: Had lunch with foodie friends.  They did a beautiful presentation but not sure worth $23, desert was outstanding! They are located inside the Epic Hotel so you don’t wander along Biscayne Blvd. like I did. Click here for details.
I’ll be trying Milos and Sushi Samba Dromo.  Do share which restaurants you think are worthy to try or not!

Experience the innovative culinary creations of Chef Ryan Harris at his restaurant, Preservation! Their “Wine Weekdays” menu is an absolute steal, you should definitely go try it and tell Ryan, Wok Star sent you!  My hubby and I were lucky enough to enjoy Chef Ryan’s innovative seven course tasting menu and got a chance to sit and get into his head.  I will be posting about that experience soon.  The food, music, service, atmosphere, decor were faultless!  Ryan asked me to caution that wines and dishes are subject to change due to Eat Preservation and Mas Vino’s extreme imaginations! Love that.  I’ve chosen Preservation to celebrate my birthday dinner, can’t wait to see what surprises Ryan comes up with.
