My shelves are already sagging because I own so many cookbooks so you KNOW it would have to be terrific for me to want to add to the collection. I checked this book out from the library and the recipes were so easy to follow and turned out so well, that I really need my own copy. He does use Britishisms like ground nut oil (instead of peanut oil) but that is all explained in one section of the book. Highly recommend!

Good recipes that can be easily prepared and enjoyed, however, it wasn't exactly the book I was hoping for. It's a departure from traditional stir fry, which is great for those looking for something just a little different.

Many of the recipes contained specialty ingredients (two different types of soy sauce, specialty rice vinegar), but there were some great, general user friendly recipes in here that I look forward to trying.

I LOVE this book. As a home cook that loves to try new things, this was one of the books that I originally checked out of my local library. I loved it so much, I had to have my own copy. The recipes are so easy to follow, and even though there are some eclectic ingredients listed, there is usually an easy to find and most likely on hand substitution for these things. Like another review pointed out, there is use of British terminology throughout the book, but again, these are explained thoroughly. Every recipe I have tried so far came out tasting amazing. Even the most basic of cooks could handle this book, and come out looking like a stir fry Pro. Highly recommend to add to your cookbook collection.
