Book Reviews of The Essential Wok Cookbook
Book Review: Fantastic Cookbook! Quality Recipes.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fantastic cookbook. Period. While many of the recipes in this book are not truly authentic, there is a good mix of true authentic and "Americanized" recipes. What's great about this book are details and the quality of recipes in this book. Kor example, the Kung-Pao recipe calls for the chicken to be marninated in a solution on corn flour, eggs, seasame oil, and Shaozing Wine. This is exactly how a true Chinese Chef would make this dish. I know this, because I am an Asian-American chef/restaurant owner.
The book covers various recipes styles of cuisine ranging from Japanese to Indian, each style with its own chapter. This book has also a great deal of usable recipes which are very applicable in a restaurant exvironment, since everything is easy to make.
The book also has great photographs and goes into good detail about specific ingredients used for each recipe. Too many books fail to mention specific brands of sauces and spices used to make each dish. There is a big difference between "Sweet Soy Sauce" and "Kepcap Manis Brand ABC Sweet Soy." This can make all of the difference when you want your dishes to taste not only authentic, but good.
Great Cookbook.
