Summary: Great guy, great recipes, great book
Comment: So okay, you go out and buy yourself a wok, you turn up the heat, you get out the oil - and then what? Ken Hom (one of the greatest Chinese chefs - and a terrific TV personality) will tell you. Right from the very basics, like how to prepare your new wok before putting any food in it.
Hom's absolute passion for Asian food, and in particular for Wok-cooked Asian food, shines through as you find page after page (bless me, 224 of them, I see!) of amazing recipes (over 150 for the punk accountants amongst you). But Ken Hom offers more than just a recipe and a photo. He strategically places notes on ingredient choice, preparation, and even cultural explanations based on his childhood in China. Added to this is information gleaned from his travels in Asia, and his exploration of Asian cuisine.
Ken Hom is truly international. Born of Chinese parents, raised in USA and now living in France, he travels frequently to Asia to learn more about his art. I saw him recently on a French television program, sharing the secrets of French cuisine with a top chef. Talk about depth of knowledge - Ken Hom knew almost as much as the other guy!
Get this book, try out the simple recipes first, then move on to some of the slightly more difficult ones. Believe me, wok cooking can me rewarding, not just for it's simplicity, but for its superb variety of flavors and aromas. Learn from the true master, and let Ken Hom into your kitchen. I promise you, you'll not regret the experience.

Summary: Many cookbooks in one!
Comment: This book is the book of books. It includes recipes in the "East meets West" style. It includes some delicious recipes by Neil Perry of Sydney's Rockpool and Wokpool restaurants. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys good, fast food.
