5.0 out of 5 stars WHO AMONG US DOESN'T LOVE A STIR FRY?, December 28, 2001

This review is from: The Stir Fry Cookbook: 100 Fun and Fresh Recipes for the One-Stop Cook (Paperback)

In this day and age with so much to do and so little time left to spare, who does not love a good stir fry? A well-prepared stir fry is quick, easy to prepare, nutritious and tasty. Chicken, beef, fish, entirely veggie - the choice is yours. With a little creativity and by varying the ingredients, one can have a whole new meal; the variations are endless. One originally associated the wok with strictly Chinese cooking, and this book quickly enlightens us on that thought. If you think one stir fry is the same as the next, wait until you read this book; it is one I would not want to be without. It is truly a cook's best friend. The recipes are quite different and each one I have tried has been absolutely flavourful and delicious. This book is a "must-have" for anyone who does not have the time, energy or desire to spend hours slaving over a hot stove!
