5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a book which turns your Chinese food into Chinese, 8 Nov 2003
By L. Frosslund (Stockholm, Sweden) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Ken Hom's Quick Wok: The Fastest Food in the East (Hardcover)
I've used this book extensively over the past year. I've come to try quite a large number of the very tasty dishes it presents. What I like best about the book is the fact that you after a while get so used to using it that you can start to modify and extend it to build entirely new dishes that still taste absolutely right just by picking parts of one and mix with the other. I've been looking for this kind of book for very long and Bingo! This is THE Asian cook-book for me!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for delicious yet quick wok food, 18 Nov 2005
Only second best to Hugh Carpenter and Teri Sandison's "Wok fast," you'll find yourself thumbing this book very often for easy and fast wok dishes. It's also a good primer for those who have no inkling of what is what in Asian ingredients for there is a complete glossary to guide you along. Very good.

This review is from: Ken Hom's Quick Wok: The Fastest Food in the East (Hardcover)
All I need to say is that the master is back with a bang! This is one great book, full of quick and easy recipes that mean we can all cook perfect Chinese food in no time at all. If you love Ken Hom or Chinese food in general, this is a must buy!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Very disappointed
Bought this book based on reputation and am very disappointed with the five recipes I have tried so far - maybe I'm just not a Chinese cook!!
