FROM THE CRITICS
Library Journal
The latest book from this prolific husband-and-wife team is a follow-up to their Fast Appetizers. Carpenter's food has always reflected Asian influences, and wok cooking is one of his favorite techniques. Wok Fast offers quick and easy recipes arranged in short chapters by main ingredient, from vegetables to lobster and crab to noodles. There is a brief but informative introduction, with good step-by-step photographs and a "pantry" of sauces and marinades. For larger collections. Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information.
