Wok Every Day: From Fish & Chips to Molten Cake—Recipes and Techniques for Steaming, Grilling, Deep-Frying, Smoking, Braising, and Stir-Frying in the World's Most Versatile Pan

“Veteran food writers Grunes and Van Vynckt present a unique approach to wok cookery, with entrees, side dishes, savory sauces and even desserts.” —Publishers Weekly

The concept is simple: one wok, many meals, all of them perfectly done. Arguably the only pan you really need, the wok is the kitchen chameleon capable of turning out not just stir-fries, but everything from pub-style fish and chips to, yes, chocolate cake. The wok can do it all, and do it well—whether it’s sizzling up crunchy polenta fries, steaming succulent Swordfish Margarita with Papaya Salsa, braising delicious Curried Beef with Basmati Pilaf, or smoking Chicken with Fig Confit. And imagine popping a warm homemade jelly doughnut into your mouth! With plenty of traditional stir-fry recipes, advice on choosing the right wok and accessories, and tips on proper wok upkeep, Wok Every Day makes it easy to wok like a gourmet.
