On the heels of our very first Wok Wednesday giveaway (the prize? A 14″ carbon steel wok from The Wok Shop!) I’m going to keep the momentum going and announce this week’s giveaway:

So you’ve got your wok, but now you need the cookbook. If you’re lucky you could be receiving a SIGNED COPY of Stir Frying to the Sky’s Edge, winner of the James Beard Foundation Best International Cookbook Award! Grace Young and her publisher, Simon & Schuster, have graciously agreed to donate a cookbook for Wok Wednesdays!

Here’s how to enter:

1. Leave a comment below and let me know the BEST Chinese food experience you’ve ever had.

It’s that easy! You have until 11:59pm EST next Saturday, May 5th to enter!

Good luck!

Wok Winner

Congratulations to Jill Godin who won a free wok courtesy of The Wok Shop in San Francisco! Thanks also to everyone who entered, there were some great questions and I’m going to compile them into one awesome FAQ page where Grace Young will address some of the most common problems and questions people have about their woks.

Check back later tonight for our next giveaway!

Welcome to Wok Wednesdays!

Inspired by the group Tuesdays With Dorie, and encouraged by some fellow foodies, I’ve decided to start a bi-weekly cooking group that is all about the wok! We’ll be cooking our way through Grace Young’s Stir-Frying to the Sky’s Edge, a must-have cookbook for any wok enthusiast.

Whether you are a season wok-star or a wok newbie, you’ll definitely have fun as we share our stories and experiences from cooking the recipes.

To get started check out the following links:

• About
• The Book
• Rules & Equipment

We’ll be starting off on Wednesday, May 16th. The recipe and schedule for the rest of May will be up towards the end of April.
