In this highly anticipated follow-up to More Than Cake, chef Natasha Pickowicz teaches all the broths, components, and side dishes to make a hot pot feast, the ancient Chinese cookery method 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 shares her family’s hot pot recipes in this much-anticipated follow up to More Than Cake. She 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, like the delicious Not-Just-Scallion Pancakes, Toasted Cumin and White Sesame Sauce, and Caramelized Mushroom and Cabbage Dumplings, as well as surprising dishes that are sure to become staples at any hot pot gathering, like Charred Tomato and Lemongrass Broth, Crunchy Seaweed Boats, and a refreshing 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!
