As a family that loves Chinese take out and stir fry dishes, this cookbook has found a great home with us. I am amazed at how easy and inexpensive it is to whip up many of our favorite Chinese take out dishes at home with this cookbook! I always thought that it would take so much time, money, and work to make our own dishes with Chinese flair. I have found thanks to The Essential Wok Cookbook that this could not be further from reality.I love the way they have laid out recipes in this book and also include many that are under $10 to make and take less than 30 minutes from start to finish. Being a busy mom of two small children on a limited income, this is invaluable. I am always looking for ways to stretch our dollars as well as my time and this book is a lifesaver. Not only am I able to make a great dish (Easy Sesame Chicken, Pineapple Fried Rice, and Vegetable Egg Rolls are favorites here) for under $10, but everyone loves it and I know that I am serving something healthier than take out food.I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to make some great dishes in a wok, regardless of your expertise. The step by step instructions are a cinch to follow and many of the ingredients can be found easily at your local grocery.*I received this ebook in exchange for an honest and unbiased review, all opinions are my own.
