Editorial Reviews

06/10/2024

Pang (Jeremy Pang's School of Wok: Delicious Asian Food in Minutes), a British Chinese TV chef and founder of the School of Wok cooking school in London, returns with the familiar wok clock technique of mise en place, which makes it easy to take on complex recipes to create a family feast. Pang introduces fans to a new visual, the feasting wheel, to help choose dishes that have complementary texture and flavor. Chapters are organized by Asian cuisine and span nine specific regions. Introductions to chapters are filled with anecdotes and tips on preparing multiple dishes successfully. Pang also includes tips, such as chopstick etiquette and serving techniques. Ingredients listed in recipes are the real deal, but if an Asian supermarket isn't handy, Pang gives home cooks "swapsies" for easier-to-procure substitutes. Recommended for libraries looking for a cookbook with solid methodology that covers many regional Asian cuisines. Fans will enjoy taking their skills to the next level with this book. VERDICT Readers can skip the restaurant and delve into creating their own feasts with the great techniques and advice that home cooks have come to expect from Pang.—Sarah Tansley
