Editorial Review:
The wok is easily the most versatile cooking vessel ever invented. Its one-pan approach saves time and trouble--and makes clean-up simpler, too. But what gives woks their worldwide popularity is the unbeatable food they produce--as these 365 luscious dishes so richly prove. Wok-steamed fish delivers more taste, and wok-fried vegetables preserve more of their nutritional value than other methods. Better still, each of these tempting curries, stir-fries, and soups can be prepared in minutes. The lavishly illustrated recipes include green vegetable curry and spiced noodles, mussels in tomato broth, Hoisin duck with pancakes, and sesame and tahini spinach, and represent a range of great cuisines from Chinese and Indian to Thai, Vietnamese, and Japanese.

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.
Gift Cook Book:
Seemed like a good book. Bought for a gift. Recipient seemed pleased with it. Haven't tried the recipes yet.
Not impressed:
I don't know, maybe I'm just getting lazy but I do not like this cookbook, way too complicated, too many needed ingrediants, have to make a list, run to the store, so I can complete recipes. I still like my old, cheap, easy to use and have everyting I need in my pantry Chinese cook book.
