Review: I grew up in an Asian Wok culture and learnt by watching and helping out mum in the kitchen. This book took my home wok skills to another level. I loved the explanations of how to cut meet, ways to keep the tenderness and some history about ingredients. It also provided tips on wok cooking on an electric/induction stove which was helpful. It was mentioned in some other reviews that the paper and picture quality is poor. I wouldn't call it poor but compared to other books, the food photography is adequate and could be improved. The paper is thin but for me it's fine. It's surviving well in my kitchen and I use this book at least 2-3 times a week. In spite of this, the content is fantastic and I would happily recommend it to anyone who wanted to start cooking in a wok, on any stove.
Review: Receitas meticulosas e resultados deliciosos. Não poderia esperar outra coisa do livro mais recente de J. Kenji López-Alt. Pasta quem segue ele desde os tempos de Serious Eats, New York Times, etc, não é nenhuma surpresa. Sem dúvida umas excelente adição a qualquer biblioteca culinária, mas fica muito melhor ao lado do fogão enquanto você coloca em prática uma de suas receitas.

*by V***A on 28 October 2023*

Me parece un libro excelente. Aborda los temas más básicos de una forma interesante y con suficiente profundidad. No es abrumador en la forma en que está escrito, de hecho el estilo de escritura de Kenji López Alt me parece muy agradable, no se me hace pesado de leer, sin embargo si hay una inmensa cantidad de información que a primeras es un poco difícil de consultar, por ejemplo, las técnicas las encuentras entre las recetas, no pertenecen a un capítulo, per se. Esto en realidad no es algo malo ya que tiene un excelente índice analítico. En cuanto a la impresión, me pareció fantástica, sobretodo comparándolo con su otro libro, Food Lab, que por alguna razón tenía —cuando menos en mi edición— algunos errores de impresión. Algo que no me agradó es el uso de unidades imperiales. Constantemente da rangos de temperatura en grados Fahrenheit y uno tiene que estar convirtiéndolo a Celsius constantemente.
