Kenji López-Alt spends six hundred and seventy-two pages on a single piece of cookware and still doesn't manage to make it feel excessive. It's our bookshelf's equivalent of chatting about The Perfect Spoon with Jonas, our store manager in Stockholm. The book covers heat management, wok hei, oils, technique and ingredients with the systematic stubbornness that's his trademark, and the recipes are tested until they work no matter who's cooking them. The physics of the wok are explained in a way that makes you start cooking differently even in other pots and pans. The sequel to The Food Lab and fully its equal.
