For someone who did not grow up using a wok, this book is very helpful in presenting recipes that are easy to understand. The dishes we have tried so far have turned out very well with several asterisks to do again in the future. One of the fun aspects of this cooking adventure is being introduced to a number of Asian spices and sauces, then completing the recipes that compare favorably to dishes we have enjoyed in various restaurants.
