Anyone can be a Wok Star!
Create memories and make new friends

   Join me in beautiful spaces for an unforgettable experience - a perfect combination of socializing, entertainment and learning!

    My classes are very unique because I introduce each person so you feel special. It helps to break the ice and many connections have been made.

    You'll only need one 3-hour class to learn my no-recipe, no-measuring, no-calorie counting approach. My goal is to show you that with the right tools and techniques, you'll be able to accomplish exotic, delicious Asian flavored dinners in less than thirty minutes!  I focus on weekday, healthy, homestyle dishes using a few fresh ingredients with little cleanup.  I do NOT cook Chinese restaurant food (mostly deep fried.)

    I have taught thousands of people wok cooking using my fool-proof stir fry process and a “Squirt, Squeeze, Shake” method of dispensing seasonings. This intuitive and improvisational approach makes cooking a fun and creative experience instead of just following a set of directions from a recipe.

    Anyone can be a Wok Star and that's why my Wok Star Kit will be available for purchase so you can go home and implement what you have learned.

    The class begins with meeting new friends and enjoying a delicious Rainbow Lettuce Wrap appetizer paired with Prosecco, Tiger Beer or Fiji Water while touring the venue.

    Rainbow Lettuce wrap is a great party dish because you can prepare it ahead of time and serve it when your guests arrive without additional prep.

    After introductions, I'll explain my simple visual roadmap. We'll explore Asian ingredients and I'll provide handouts with brands and markets together with a handy stir-fry crib sheet. There'll be door prizes and tons of tips sprinkled throughout the evening. Then we'll continue with three different stir-fry combinations. You'll savor each dish as it's cooked (see menu below). Many will have the opportunity to stir-fry alongside me  and I'll try to answer all your burning questions about wok cooking.

I look forward to meeting you soon at my next cooking class.

“Our group had a great time and we are all still talking about the class. I think Hassia and I will be hosting a joint wok party soon.” Nicole

“We enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and we liked interacting with the group.” Justin

“I thought the class was wonderful. It was a perfect mix of cooking comments and cuisine. Best of luck with your programs. It is a great idea.”
Sheah Rarback, UM registered dietitian,
Herald health columnist

"I have been having a lot of fun with this, and I'm not a cook. It's even given me more confidence with other kinds of cooking, although I most like to create the Asian dishes within your organized framework." -- Barbara

The ultimate solution for fast, fun, flavorful wok cooking.
"My unique kit with wok set, instructional discs, and seasonings are all you need to get started.  I know you'll enjoy being a Wok Star for your family and friends".

    I created these Wok Star Classes (actually, they’re more like interactive WORKSHOPS) to show people how to get the most out of their Wok Star Kits.  I know my Kit can jump start positive life changes because of the feedback I get from my students.  The thrill of hearing from happy families about cooking and eating together, or thanking me that their partners have lost weight or that kids are eating their vegetables is the most rewarding feeling and what keeps me going. 

Here’s Justin’s Wok Star moment, showing off his skills to the gals at La Cuisinegourmet.

Poliform, Design District -- Maritza & Erica (far right) look on as Pepe Calderin (designer of Karu & Y) expresses his artist’s touch.

bulthaup --  Architect Rene Gonzalez (designer of CIFO gallery) attended the night the press were present... Carly (Miami Herald), Linda Gassenheimer (cookbook author & radio personality), and Marguerite Gil (columnist & radio show host). 

Morty, a retired radiologist was one of my earliest students.  A generous supporter of Diabetes Research Institute, he realizes the importance of healthy eating.--

“I have attended cooking classes for decades in NY, Chicago, Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Miami and yours was by far the most fun and the most informative.”   Donna

“We loved your very warm way of teaching.  It made me feel like I belonged in the kitchen.  The cooking class was excellent.  Marisabel and I enjoyed the opportunity of sharing with you all the secrets and ideas about stir frying.”  Oscar

MENU

These dishes illustrate the techniques of stir frying and will provide a foundation for you to create your own dishes.

  1. Rainbow lettuce with ground turkey, hoisin sauce & crunchy pumpkin seeds

  2. Easy stir fry veggies with an Asian twist

  3. Shrimp with asparagus, carrot & topped with cashews

  4. Tilapia with zucchini, squash & bell peppers in spicy brown bean sauce

If you are vegetarian or have food allergies please let me know when you reserve your space so I can try to accommodate you.

Arclinea, Coral Gables -- Architect Max Strang appreciates the beauty and functionality of a good wok and owns my Wok Star Kit!

Snaidero USA -- Carlos & Allison hosted my Wok Star class which was showcased on Local Fox News, Belkys Nerey’s Style File segment.    
 

Denise helped stir fry the asparagus for the third dish, shrimp and asparagus.  It’s a great way to prepare a delicious one-dish meal in thirty minutes or less.  Once you start creating your own combinations of protein and veggies, you’ve got THOUSANDS of your own “recipes”.


“I liked that you knew everybody’s name and a little bit of history of each person.  It made me relax and open up more to the people next to me because I knew their name and I had something to talk about going off of the history that you gave. I thought it would be to long but the time went by very quickly. It was perfect.”  Scott


“I thoroughly enjoyed your class and learned a lot.  I was particularly pleased with the simplicity of your instructions.  I thought the group was an especially interesting bunch of folks and was impressed by how you were able to engage everyone's undivided attention and participation.”  Betty King, dinnerreviews.com


The last meal of the evening, Tilapia in a spicy brown bean sauce, demonstrates the wok’s versatility.  The fish is cooked IN the sauce instead of stir frying.       






“I had such a blast in your class and would recommend it to any one as a stress reliever and excuse to eat great food all night without feeling guilty.”   Nati


“I had a wonderful time the other night.  What stood out the most was the atmosphere--I LOVED the location!!! I also loved how you made it intimate by remembering everyone and doing the introductions in the beginning - I think that set off a positive and warm evening.”  Julissa


“I loved the class. You really did a great job of demystifying the process, kudos to you.”  Babette


“What fun it is to meet new people and share in the process.  Eleanor, you are an excellent, generous instructor with a wonderful passion for what you do----I can't think of a nicer way to spend a Saturday afternoon.----I left your class and went straight to the grocery store to pick up some salmon and fresh veggies.  My husband once said that if he were left on a deserted island with only one kind of food to eat the rest of his life, it would be Asian, without question, so I do try to cook with that in mind.  I just have never really perfected my technique with the wok.  I am determined to stick with it and get really good!!!!----Again, thanks to you and your husband for providing so much great information on wok cooking. Warm Regards,”  Mary Jane


“Learned a lot and will definitely tell my friends who are interested in healthy cooking/eating.”  Sylvia


“I’ve been talking up your classes to a lot of people. Jean & I are really enjoying cooking together & have already cooked together twice…which is quite a feat for us!  It’s a very coordinated effort & the best part is eating it!..thanks so much!”
