The great fun of wok cooking lies in its speed and simplicity - no sooner are the ingredients prepared and the wok hot, than the recipe is complete and you have a tasty meal. With 100 original recipes, "The Wok Cookbook" shows the range of dishes that can be produced by stir-frying. Some of them look to the wok's origins and capture the flavours that are so characteristic of Eastern cooking, while other reflect the diversity of dishes that have evolved as the trend has spread in the West. Try your hand at Sir-fired Duck with Plum Sauce, Nutty Spicy Greens, Sweet and Sour Crispy Pork Bites or a colourful Trout, Spinach and Raspberry Salad. Suitable for light lunches, quick snacks and healthy suppers, the wok is an essential tool for any kitchen, and one you shouldn't be without.
