The Everyday Wok Cookbook: Simple and Satisfying Recipes for the Most Versatile Pan in Your Kitchen

Love this book. The quality is amazing, great photos.You will for sure find some meals that will become your favorites. The Chicken and Andouille Sausage Gumbo recipe is amazing and it's my favorite. You will need to visit an Asian market, no if's and's or but's, this is a guarantee. It makes a great coffee table piece also because it contains great photography and the paper is great quality (nice and thick, slight gloss on every page.).One thing I really like is the recipes are kind of a fusion of cultures. For example we all know that Gumbo is not typically an Asian meal, but WOW... it's the best Gumbo I've ever had (slow cooked in a Wok all day). There hasn't been a recipe in here yet that I didn't like... it will definitely help take your Wok to the next level.

This book contains nearly 60 recipes for cooking in a wok. Most people usually associate cooking in a wok with Chinese food. This book is no exception: it is dominated by Chinese recipes, but it also has a few other (international) types of dishes as well, some of which would not have occurred to me to cook in a wok.Many of the recipes are quite interesting. I have been cooking some of these dishes based on other recipes and cook books. However, the differences here are worth noting, and they often lend a new (but subtle) twist the flavors of the dishes.I own a lot of cook-books. Typically I use perhaps about 10% of the recipes per cook-book. In that sense, this book is definitely above average: I may adopt perhaps as many as 10 or 12 new good recipes from this one.

I didn't really look thru the book before I ordered it. Was again part of the birthday gift. He is a vegetarian, and most recipes in this book are "meaty". It is a very nice book and I really liked. Nice pictures and recipes aren't difficult to follow even for the amateur cook. He said he still liked it and was sure that he could modify the recipes to suit his tastes. He likes to experiment with his cooking anyway. Also, later if/when he decides to get a true wok, this book gives detailed instructions on how to care for it. Lots of good information in here.

A beautiful and well-printed book, but while the recipes aren't difficult they aren't especially simple, and most require pretty expensive ingredients that the average cook won't have close to hand (like bison meat or mascarpone cheese) so it's not exactly "every day" cooking. Pick it up if it's on sale, but if you're looking for actual simple and everyday recipes, this probably won't provide what you're looking for.

I am new to Asian cooking and wok cookery in particular. This is an excellent book for a newbie like me. The author gives a little history of the wok, different types, how to properly season it and the recipes show just how amazingly versatile this wonderful piece of cookware can be. I would have never thought of wok spaghetti and meatballs. If you're new to wok cookery this is for you. I think even if you are and old hand at this you may find some ideas and uses you never thought of.

This is not one of those encyclopedic something for everyone cookbooks but it is a very nice introduction to the vast possibilities your new and possibly, unfamiliar, cooking vessel will provide. I'm very pleased with the recipe mix this book offers--a thoughtful variety of asian classics and standard western staples with a good guide to help you transform your wok into your favorite and most indispensible cooking tool. Just bought a Lodge cast iron wok, which I love, and this book will help me love it even more.

Not for Chinese cooking. This is a collection of American foods adapted for use in a wok, not what I was looking for at all for my new wok. The best book found so far is " The Chinese Takeout Book" which provides Chinese recipes with limited ingredients, easy to make and I can't wait to try the recipes.

This book is too complicated, no easy recipes. Good for an advanced stir fry expert. I did not like the recipes. You can spend a lot of money on all the extra ingredients but a simple stir fry recipe is best. Everyday is a misnomer. as is simple! If you have a lot of time on your hands and money for all the extras than I guess this is the book for you. Not recommended for beginners. I returned the book.

Love this book.

was as described and no problems

Awesome book with simple instructions and a good variety of tastes. Worth the sale price. My family enjoys the food. Enjoy!

It is a well produced and interesting cook book, I need to explore it further, but first impression is that a wider range of dishes is what I was expecting. However this may be an unreasonable view because this is my first adventure in using a wok and this particular type of Asian food.

I brought second hand version and is in almost perfect condition . well laid out easy to follow recipes and great recipes they are!
