"Eleanor, Great insight!! And thanks for the wok tip. You need to be on a show and give your tips!! Rachel Ray?" Rachel, Parentdish.com
“I think that the key to marketing to individuals like myself is to emphasize the fact that it is easy, it takes less than 15 minutes to prepare a gourmet meal, it is healthy, and there is little to no clean up. Plus, you do not have to “know” how to cook.” Avier, attorney
“I decided it was time to get healthy...so I'm especially excited because I know I have a whole new approach to vegetables, one that I like much better than steaming. I so needed a way to really embrace eating vegetables. If most people don't buy the right tools they won't have much success.” Babette, artist
“I'm a bachelor and frequently eat fast food and make other not so healthy eating choices. I've impressed dates and kept it healthy at the same time. This Wok rocks...soon, I'm sure I'll be able to Wok just about anything edible. Truly, one of the best purchases I've made.” :-)... Steve
“Yippee! My lovely wok kit arrived, organized cooking here I come. Thank you for more family time, as well as healthy, quick meals.” Lesley
"Other web sites offered many many utensils and I didn't know what I needed. My wife can't cook much anymore and I have never cooked. I wanted a relatively fast and simple way to learn to cook. Plus, I just love to try new and different things. You also give instruction discs! I don't have to try and figure it out by myself . . . you can teach me. Your kit seems to be what I was looking for. I'm looking forward to using it. My experience should be interesting from an engineer, inventor and someone who hasn't ever cooked before :) " Dave
I like your practical no-100-bowls-to-wash later tip, definitely more suitable to us regular folks, not celebrity chefs! (Especially us who don't have dishwashers). You offer lots of great practical tips, more more! :) The video on the SF chef cooking was educational, I always enjoy those. It is quite amazing what a few simple steps like drying my meat and vegetables, separating the different components and then recombining, will do! And yes there is something stunningly simple and gorgeous about a raw cast iron wok, imperfections and all. Amy, architect, LA
“What’s a Wok Star?”
How to create delicious memories...
My simple approach to cooking came about because I was sent to boarding school and became homesick for my mother’s cooking. I promised myself I’d learn to cook like her. But learning from my mother was difficult as she never used recipes or measured anything. Later, I realized this was the best way to learn as it forced me to develop my sense of taste, smell, and sight.
I decided to adapt my Mom’s traditional methods to a modern lifestyle. The challenge to simplify the cooking process while maintaining authentic flavors resulted in a technique that requires...
No recipes
No measuring
No calorie counting.
Simple and Easy.
Fast, Fun, Flavorful meals Everyday!
I’ve taught thousands of people this intuitive, liberating and improvisational approach instead of following a set of directions from a recipe. My style of cooking appeals to a wide range of people from busy professionals and moms to single guys who like to show off to their dates and at the same time keep it healthy!
For those who think cooking dinner is stressful or a chore, this approach will transform mealtime into a fun, creative and pleasurable experience EVERYDAY! For those who enjoy cooking, you’ll discover new flavors and techniques. For those with no cooking experience, you will love this foolproof method. Many tell me it has changed their whole mindset towards cooking and eating.
Wok Stars, like Rock Stars, love to express themselves, show off their skills, and be recognized for their creations. I put together my Wok Star Kit to provide you the tools and techniques you need to get started. You can be a Wok Star too!
“I don’t want to cook “special orders” for my kids.”
Parents tell me I’ve opened a whole new world to them.
They discovered kids don't like bland, boiled, soft, mushy veggies but LOVE colorful, crunchy textures and most importantly, they like FLAVOR!There’s no need to deceive or sneak veggies a la Jessica Seinfeld and Missy Chase Lapine.

Here are my solutions for the most
common complaints I hear about cooking...
My approach is to make quick, easy, “weeknight” dinners in under 30 minutes with little cleanup.
I show you how to eliminate recipes in my
DVDs which includes audio podcast cook-alongs as if I’m right in your kitchen cooking with you!
“I don’t enjoy cooking.”
My handy caddy basket organizer keeps your Asian seasonings in one place so cooking is a breeze.
My Squirt, Squeeze, Shake method is liberating, no need to measure - EASY!
You'll enjoy my husband’s amusing "Wok Up and Smell the Coffee" segment on the Wok Star DVD.
“I don’t like washing up.”
A typical weeknight cleanup takes less than 5 minutes!
Use your wok for everything, it helps build up patina and becomes a natural, non-stick surface. Result: less oil and less food sticks.
Get a laugh from my husband’s tips in “Care and Feeding”, so you’ll avoid the same mistakes. He’s had over 20,000 views on Youtube!
