Wok cooking made easy.,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Wok Cooking Made Easy: Delicious Meals in Minutes (Learn to Cook Series) (Spiral-bound)
What a delightful little cook book. It is a convenient size ( 6 x 8 inches,) and spiral bound for easy placement on your kitchen counter. Each recipe is on one page, no flipping, and a well done accompanying photograph of the meal on the opposite side. No long stories, just the facts and nothing but the facts. The recipes are clearly written with step by step instructions and ancillary notes when needed.
The recipes range form simple to fairly complex, and there is ample variety. Every meal I have cooked form this book has been delicious and ready in minutes just as the subtitle states. Don't be fooled by the words "made easy" into thinking that this book will teach you how to buy and use a wok. The assumption is that you have acquired those skills elsewhere. For me, "made easy" means it is easy to use this book because of the way it is designed, and the way the recipes are presented. If you enjoy Asian food, and you want to cook it at home, than I highly recommend this book. For the cook book aficionados this is a gem, and it is one that will be used, and not just read and added to the collection.

COOKING CHINESE??? Well, sort of....,
By Laura "Squirrelly" (Pike County, PA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Wok Cooking Made Easy: Delicious Meals in Minutes (Learn to Cook Series) (Spiral-bound)
Most of the recipes in this book are quite wonderful. Very tasty, very easy to create and make. But are they authentic Chinesse???? Nope... Some are halfway Chinese....some are not at all Chinese; just western interpretations of Chinese recipes. Take the fried rice recipes, for example. The book does not tell you WHICH rice to use. But you can bet your bottom dollar that the long grain brown rice I used for these recipes is NOT what makes for an authentic Chinese dish.
Still---what I created using my long-grain brown rice and the recipes herein----oh, yes, very yummy indeed. Just don't expect the results to even being to resemble anything you've eaten at your favorite Chinese restaurant. BUT--I still recommend this book. Photos are GREAT!!!! And, sometimes photos are all you need!!!!! Plus, no shortcuts are taken the way shortcuts are taken on many websites offering Chinese sitr-fry recipes. [read: Betty Crocker who wants you to use INSTANT RICE!!!!!! YEEE GADS....COULD IT GET ANY WORSE THAN THAT----I DON'T THINK SO] Okay....that's it. A good book. Not a great book, but for the price, a good book well-worth adding to a storehouse of Chinese cookbooks. Just don't make it your ONLY Chinese cookbook, or you'll wind up lost somewhere between the Indian Ocean and Connecticut....
