Okay, this is pretty funny. I must have posted this photo here, instead of my Twitter feed, but that’s okay. I’ll just tell you about it.

This is Eleanor Hoh. Eleanor is known on blog and Twitter and around town as the WokStar. For very good reason, I might add. She’s one of the Miami food bloggers who actually cooks. Eleanor enjoys teaching people about wok cooking, and taking the mystery out of doing it successfully, much as I enjoy getting in the kitchen and trying new recipes, new challenges, and telling you guys all about it.

I just recently connected with Eleanor on Twitter (we exchanged pancake recipes, I think), so when she tweeted this afternoon that she was going to be teaching a free class in my end of town, I lost no time in calling MJ and asking if he wanted to come with me.

When we arrived at the Whole Foods in Pinecrest, Eleanor was just completing her set-up. She greeted us warmly and I gave her some of my Grand Marnier Blueberry Peach Sauce and Blueberry Mojito Jam.

It was a nice, small group (about 20 or so). We had a great time and learned a lot about stir-frying and why we failed at it so miserably in the past. As I get more into Asian cooking in the near future, I hope to share some of that technique with you, too. Till then, visit Eleanor’s blog for the real deal, and see how a real WokStar does it!

It was a pleasure to meet you, Eleanor – hope you enjoy the jam!
