By Barbara Grunes and Virginia Van Vynckt

Book Overview

The concept is simple: one wok, many meals, all of them perfectly done. Arguably the only pan you really need, the wok is the kitchen chameleon capable of turning out not just stir-fries, but everything from pub-style fish and chips to, yes, chocolate cake. The wok can do it all, and do it well - whether it's sizzling up crunchy polenta fries, steaming succulent Swordfish Margarita with Papaya Salsa, braising delicious Curried Beef with Basmati Pilaf, or smoking Chicken with Fig Confit. And imagine popping a warm homemade jelly doughnut into your mouth With plenty of traditional stir-fry recipes, advice on choosing the right wok and accessories, and tips on proper wok upkeep, Wok Every Day makes it easy to wok like a gourmet.

Customer Reviews

I was very pleased with this book. I was happy to see that styles of cooking OTHER than Asian were

There are many different styles of cuisine that can be cooked in a wok, or so I disovered from this book. One can even bake a cake in a wok, who knew!! This is true to it's title. Throw out those other pots and pans!! Don't need 'em no more!! .... and enjoy the simplicity of the ancient wok.

Beautiful Cookbook!

This book is so beautiful to look at and cook from. The recipes are all easily done in either a wok or even a regular sauté pan. The recipes mostly come with beautiful photos, and the colors of the book are so vibrant. I bought one for myself and one for a gift for my mom.
