Paula, just to let your readers know this month I have two classes to celebrate Asian Pacific Heritage month as well as Mother’s Day. Spaces are going fast but still available for May 21 at Gibson showroom in Design District and May 28 at Arclinea, an Italian Kitchen design showroom in the Gables, both 7pm-10pm.

Keep up the good work, I know it’s a LOT of work posting blogs. I’m juggling so many different things, I’ve let my blog slide but hope to pick it up soon.

Thanks for mentioning Dragon Boat Festival. It’s a lovely way to spend the day with family, friends and a picnic. There are shady areas with tables, benches and breeze. Raffle prizes include a trip to Hong Kong and my cooking class for two. Lots of students emailed to say they’re coming, it will be nice to see people I’ve not seen in a while and catch up.

All parents – help spread word to adoptive parents of Asian kids about my free cooking classes.

Great write-up about Eleanor’s cooking class! It brings back memories of Miami and trying Eleanor’s lettuce wraps several years ago. You made me hungry!!!

Sorry I didn’t respond immediately to this wonderful writeup, Paula. Busy prepping for another class. You really captured the essence of my approach to wok cooking. I’m sure you’ll all agree our best memories are gatherings where there’s food and people we enjoy. Also good for anyone looking for alternatives to a “diet”.

Thanks to all who came to class and your positive comments. Anyone can be a Wok Star if you have the right tools!

She’s right. That’s the way my mom taught me to cook – veggies, then protein, then sauce and then mix them all together

This was a great post. I’ve seen the signs for the Wok Star class, but you’ve totally convinced me. It sounds like Eleanor Hoh can successfully teach, as well as cook. Fun!

My wok is my #1 favorite item to use in the kitchen. I use it for everything and dont limit it to Asian dishes.

As far as Asian markets are concerned, the only one I know of (and I really enjoy it) is Lucky’s on Bird Rd. (cross street is around 92nd I think?). People there are really nice and they have a good selection of everyday supplies and some more adventurous ones too!

The class was phenomenal. Eleanor has a very structured manner of presenting her approach to wok frying (replete with flowchart) and has a good mix of theory and practical tips.

nice blog Paula. you captured our event in a wonderful way! i made the shrimp and asparagus dish last night. it was good eating. the ultimate test: my 14 year old son helped me devour the shrimp in record time. and he even ate a few carrot sticks. it was a pleasure meeting you.

I would like to know what is in the list of markets selling Asian ingredients? Would you reveal that please?
