About the book:
An expert chef and the author of More Than Cake covers everything you need to know to make a dazzling hot pot feast—the ancient Chinese tradition that is both a meal and a celebration.
Hot pot is the ancient East Asian cookery method of rapidly poaching bite-size morsels of fresh vegetables, meats, seafood, and tofu in a tableside broth. This communal way of eating is perfect for home dinner parties where guests become active participants in cooking the meal. Though the hot pot table symbolizes bounty and feasting, at its core is frugality and thrift and accessibility to anyone. Four-time James Beard Award nominated chef Natasha Pickowicz provides more than fifty recipes for the broths, dumplings, sides, desserts, and drinks, along with a guide to the essential hot pot ingredients, equipment and tools, plus an explanation on how to pull it all together. Recipes include essential hot pot accompaniments, such as:
- Not-Just-Scallion Pancakes
- Toasted Cumin and White Sesame Sauce
- Caramelized Mushroom and Cabbage Dumplings
- Charred Tomato and Lemongrass Broth
- Crunchy Seaweed Boats
- Watermelon Shiso Slushie
Through four distinctly unique hot pot menus, Pickowicz shows how to pull together this cozy tradition best enjoyed at home no matter where you are; everyone, hot pot!
