COMPLICATED

This is definitely not for the novice. I bought this book right after buying my first wok. I quickly found that I was in over my head with this one. A whole lot of great dishes, but too complicated for a beginner.

Great Recipes

We have tried a handful of recipes in this book and they are all beyond wonderful. Everything has had great complex flavors and we can't wait to try more recipes.

Almost overwhelming

This cookbook contains a superb collection of Asian recipes. There are many easy recipes from China, Vietnam, Thailand, India and other countries. While the recipes are relatively simple, you will probably need access to an Asian food store locally or by mail. There are recipes here for almost anyone from strict carnivores to vegetarians. So far the only problem I've encountered is choosing from the overwhelming number of great looking selections. In addition the spiral binding and format earn high marks.

Well worth it!

Absolutely super selection of wok recipes! Clearly described, easy to follow, intelligently arranged. This is precisely how a cookbook--any cookbook--should be published: spiral-bound, hence comfortable to use. No need for a brick or a tree limb to keep the book open to the recipe you're following.

Wok 101

Very easy to understand and a variety of recipies. I bought one for one son and this one is for the other. If you want to make your Wok cooking sucessful, start with this book and you won't be disappointed. Binding makes it perfect for laying on the countertop (pages stay open)and easy to read your favorites, or maybe a "new" one to try. Lots of them to choose from.
