RECIPES / ASIAN / CHICKEN
This is a classic dish with many variation throughout Asia, and it's surprisingly easy to make.
This is the first time I've ever seen Jeremy use a CAST IRON WOK on his show! I'd be more than happy to have one in my house! Lodge makes a good one that you can get for about $50.
I have got to make this for myself! But I will need to get some of the ingredients from Amazon first. They are a good source for Asian pantry items.

BOOKS / RECIPES / GENERAL COOKBOOK
For someone who owns nearly 100 cookbooks and who has been cooking for decades, why a buy a cookbook that teaches you how to cook? It makes no sense.
Well, the simple reason is that all cooking comes down to learning proper techniques right from Day One. So I got this book to help me reinforce the basics of cooking.
One thing this book leaves out is proper knife techniques. The French and Chinese are very big on proper use of knife, but for some odd reason most American instructional cooking courses have little to say about it. To fill that hole, I've found the best place to learn how to use and maintain a knife is YouTube.
I've paged through the book, and I think it will be an excellent resource for cooks of any skill level. There is always something new to learn.
