Eleanor Hoh is a culinary innovator who teaches people the magnificent possibilities of the stir-fry method using her unique cooking system, Ho Wok Mei (Good Wok Flavor). For a mere $125, Eleanor sells a preseasoned Chinese wok, a cooking-supplies caddy, and a specially paced DVD in a tidy, ready-to-use package. Many of her customers are men who want to impress their dates and, surprisingly, people who do not like to cook because of the tedium associated with following recipes. “I teach people a visual approach. I don’t use recipes, and I don’t measure. I use the squirt, squeeze, shake technique. Once you get the big picture, you can make your own dishes,” she explains. Those who are about to wok can learn more at the first meeting of the Hoh Wok Club held at the esteemed Chinese restaurant Mr. Chu’s. Today at noon, you can observe various techniques while feasting on delicious, authentic Hong Kong cuisine like dim sum, Peking duck, and everyone’s favorite, fried rice. Admission costs $25.
