This is a great cook book. I've had it for years, and made about everything in it, and then varied everything in it (my wife and I no longer eat meat). The best part is all the sauces -- more often than not I now go to this book for a sauce for some other stir fry I'm making. The other reviewer's comment about needing really high heat is sort of true, but my electric stove and flat bottom wok do ok. Not quite flash cooked, but close enough to be very very very yummy! Worth your time, if you're interested in making great food in the wok.

I own three of the "Hot" series and everything I have tried has been terrific. My family and friends think I am a great cook - I owe all of my best success's to Hugh and Teri. I just discovered the rest of their titles and will be ordering them all!
I've finally learned the art of Wok cooking!

When I used to wok, I could never get the sauces right. With this book, I've mastered them! I have tried at least a dozen of the recipes in the book and have yet to have a bad "wok" experience. The flavors of the sauces are wonderful and rich, and most of the recipes have basic ingredients that can be found in your local market. They are easy and fun.
A fantastic opportunity for fresh and healthy wok preparatio

It was my first experience with wok cooking recipies. I loved the idea of quick cooking very fresh ingredients at very high temperature. However, many household stoves may not be able to generate the necessary temperature to flash cook the recipies as intended. I solved the problem with a propane out door burner availble at many retail outlet and hardware stores. It generates the necessary heat and keeps the kithchen clean. With this equipment the recipies are fantastic. It is a true healthy and flavorful fusion cuisine.
