COOKING

Stir-frying is a simple way to prepare delicious, healthful home-cooked meals for the whole family even on the busiest of days. In addition to the satisfying recipes, there is also a comprehensive ingredient glossary that features everything from bean paste to Szechwan peppercorns. And since a wok is often used in the cooking process, there's an extensive equipment glossary which includes information about woks and how to season them.
