Book Reviews of The Breath of a Wok: Unlocking the Spirit of Chinese Wok Cooking Through Recipes and Lore
Book Review: A great book for those wishing to learn about wok buying and cooking
Summary: 5 Stars
First off, I am an American-Born Chinese. These days, a lot of young ABC's know very little about authentic Chinese cooking. This book is a good wake up call for those who have lived in America all their life. After all, those from the homeland should already be familiar with basic wok cooking and selection procedures.
The author did a great job of explaining wok selection, seasoning, and cooking techniques. I used her tips and suggestions to season the wok I bought yestserday. I am 21 years old and currently in college. With the aid of this book, I hope to improve my cooking techniques in the years to come.
