Supplies recipes for a wide variety of foods cooked in a wok, including main courses, vegetable dishes, desserts, and appetizers. This description may be from another edition of this product.
I'm an avid but picky reader and collector of cookbooks and, being diabetic, I'm also always on the look-out for tasty low-fat, low-carb recipes. I've had a lot of luck over the years with Better Homes & Gardens cookbooks, and this one generally lives up to that standard. The opening section on tools and cooking methods is especially good, and you also can apply almost all of it to skillet-cooking (I don't even own a wok). And only a small part of the book is actually concerned with stir-frying -- but that's the point. Many of the recipes weren't new, but some were (to me): Pepperoni-Vegetable Supper, Spinach in Sour Cream Sauce, and Horseradish Ribs were qute good. On the other hand, what they call "Jambalaya" isn't, and the idea of sweet-and-sour fish has no appeal whatever!
