About the Author:

Ken Hom was born in Arizona of Cantonese parents. He started to cook aged 11 in his uncle's restaurant which gave him a thorough grounding in traditional chinese cookery. Giving cookery lessons led him to write his first book on Chinese cookery and his first TV series was an overnight success. His books and TV series remain as popular as ever and best-sellers include Ken Hom's Top 100 Stir-Fry Recipes, Foolproof Asian Cookery and Quick and Easy Chinese Cookery. Ken lives in California.
