Beard on Books
Award-winning author and Chinese food expert Grace Young celebrates the wonders of the wok in her new cookbook, Stir-Frying to the Sky's Edge: The Ultimate Guide to Mastery, with Authentic Recipes and Stories. Young proves that the wok is a must-have kitchen tool, working its magic on humble ingredients and a little oil to churn out delicious and soul-satisfying dishes. The book also details classic techniques of stir-frying and examples of China’s regional cuisine interwoven with the story and cultural heritage of the Chinese diaspora. An essential volume, Stir-Frying to the Sky's Edge highlights the wok’s value in cooking up inventive and healthy meals, stretching proteins, starches, and vegetables to new heights.
Thursday, May 13, 7:00 P.M.
