Why read it?
1 author picked The Wok as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
We’re not all cut out to work a nine-to-five, but any man can learn to stir-fry.
Cooking with a Wok is instantly gratifying, and Dad friendly. Kenji’s book is full of solid recipes, providing a solid foundation to improvise. Starting with the very basics, he goes further into the details as they come up. Don’t have oyster sauce? Try Worcestershire. Cooking offers endless opportunities to be creative and a semi-captive audience. At least when they're hungry. With practice, you can have a pretty good Chinese restaurant in your kitchen 24/7.
From Sam's list on creative dads.
