The baby variety of bok choy is smaller, more monochromatic with a more subtle flavor. My children wrap the leaves around the oranges and cry, “surprise” as they bite into each juicy mouthful!

Pour water into a medium-sized stainless steel skillet until it is about one inch high. Add a pinch of sea salt and bring to a boil.

When the water is boiling, add the bok choy pieces.

Immerse them for about one minute and then, when they are a brighter color green, remove with a skimmer.

Icing on the Cake: Testimonials

The food was creative, delicious and healthy. We learned the correct and efficient ways to cook and prepare a variety of foods. In addition, she taught us how to maximize the nutritional value of each vegetable. Another bonus to this class is how beautifully she interjected the spiritual aspects of each ingredient. She surprised us with personal touches to make my birthday more festive.
