About this event

In celebration of Lunar New Year, CulinaryArts@SPAC welcomes four-time James Beard Award–nominated chef and acclaimed author Natasha Pickowicz for an evening dedicated to the ancient East Asian tradition of hot pot. In conversation with former New York Times Photo Editor for Food and Style Tiina Loite, Pickowicz will introduce her new book Everyone Hot Pot, a vibrant guide to the communal tableside ritual of poaching vegetables, seafood, meats, and tofu in fragrant simmering broth.

Guests will enjoy tastes from the book including Cucumber Peanut Salad, Pea Shoot & Shrimp Dumplings, Scallion Pancakes, Crunchy Seaweed Boats, and cups of hot pot broth, alongside wine, beer, and non-alcoholic beverages. Pickowicz will also share practical techniques for recreating a hot pot gathering at home, from essential equipment and pantry staples to the cultural history that makes this culinary format so joyful and connective. A book signing will follow.
