"Apparently I no longer need any of my other pans. No surprise, Chris Toy has gathered another stellar collection of recipes that are approachable and interesting. He writes about ingredients and techniques with such charm and clarity that any cook will have success and learn not just about cooking in a wok but the history and the provenance of many classic and not-so-classic dishes. My brand new copy is already dog-eared and stained with hoisin sauce." —Annie B. Copps, chef, cookbook author, culinary instructor, and co-founder of The Readable Feast
