Wok Hay

I'm the chef of a Chinese restaurant and I have all new wok cooks read the intro and first two chapters. Wok cooking is a fascinating cooking technique and true art.. I revisit the opening chapters every couple of months.

Breath of a Wok

Great book! Great Service! Who could want anything more? Good Job! It's a cook book so I did not score it high on entertainment value. Not the books fault!

Absolutely the Best - Soul & Depth

After much research on cookbooks for wok cooking, I settled on this one and it is, without a doubt, head and shoulders above anything else available on the subject that I have seen or read about. It's no wonder it has won awards. Grace Young provides not only delicious, traditional wok recipes, but a complete overview of the history of woks and wok cooking: how to select a wok, where to order the best woks and cooking utensils, and how to season and care for a wok. Her research for the book took her back to her homeland China, with a photographer, where she did extensive field investigation into the history of woks and wok cooking. This book has soul and depth. You will not be disappointed.
