the Complete Wok Cookbook: 500 Delicious Stir-fry Recipes for Your Wok or Skillet

Brilliant wok cookbook with a huge variety of dishes, from vegetable stir fries to seafood starters and beef mains. The book also explores "the history of the wok" which is interesting, but mainly it consists of delicious Asian recipe you can make in a wok or skillet. It's also broken up into chapters for different meal types (such as appetizers, dinners, desserts, sauces etc) which makes it easy to flip through for mealtime inspiration. There are some great tips about using the wok correctly, what kind of spatula to use for cooking, and even how to make popcorn in a wok. Highly reccommend for anyone who has recently invested in a wok and wants to make the most of it!

This book offers a great variety of Asian recipes as well as helpful tips and techniques for cooking using a wok. The recipes are quick and easy to follow - the ones we have tried have all been delicious and full of flavour. I really like the fact the recipes are healthier than takeaways. I’m looking forward to trying more recipes over the coming months! It’s just a shame there are no pictures.

Great book loads of recipes

Print quality on front cover is blurry. No photography of recipes and all the recipes just follow on like a reading book. Not very inspiring

This cookbook is a brilliant resource for anyone who enjoys quick meals. The variety is impressive—featuring everything from traditional Asian dishes to creative global stir-fries. Each recipe is clearly written, with straightforward instructions that are easy to follow, even for beginners. The book also includes handy tips on how to use and care for your wok, which makes it especially useful. While it would be even better with nutritional information, the recipes themselves are full of fresh ingredients and inspiration. It’s a great addition to any kitchen and perfect for speedy, satisfying midweek dinners.

I've always loved stir-fry dishes but never thought I could make restaurant-quality dishes at home until I got this book! This cookbook makes wok cooking approachable, even for beginners.

This book is AMAZING! I was interested in finding a good cookbook that was easy for beginners just starting out with the Wok and this did not disappoint. The recipes are easy to understand and make. The ingredients are easily found in stores and I am loving the tasty dishes. My favorites so far are the spicy shrimp wontons and spiced egg drop soup! On top of the great recipes, I really enjoyed all the background information on the Wok. Not only does Lucy Lynn break down the history and evolution of the wok, but you also get a lot of great tips for cooking in the wok. Here in the midwest, we don't often cook with this pan, so this was all new for me and I really appreciated learning everything a wok can do and tips and tricks to help me succeed. Highly recommend this one for any new or seasoned wok users!

Terrible cookbook, no pictures, repeated recipes. Not recommended.

J’ai commencé à cuisiner au wok. Dans ce livre, j’ai appris comment entretenir le wok, quelle type d’huile utiliser, comment préparer et dans quel ordre faire cuire les aliments; en somme, tous les principes de base pour comprendre comment cuisiner au wok. En plus, il contient aussi 500 recettes de plats et de sauces pour le wok. C’est un essentiel pour comprendre la cuisine au wok qui est tout simplement savoureuse. Un détail que j’étais en train d’oublier, ce livre est en anglais, il est très bien écrit et facile à lire, mais si vous ne comprenez pas l’anglais…

This cookbook offers recipes from various Asian cuisines. Although I have most of the ingredients and spices in my refrigerator and spice shelf, I rarely use some of them. I found myself looking up the spices in Chinese five-spice and recalling the Gochuchung and sriracha that I should use more often. Better yet, cooking at home allows the use of healthy oils and less butter. I loved the index for discovering ideas for specific vegetables and the section on sauces. A great reference for beginner or experienced cooks.
