Amazing Ways and Places Wok Stars Use Their Wok Star Kits!

I LOVE all the amazing ways and places Wok Stars use their WOK STAR KITS! Being a Wok Star encompasses more than just cooking, it’s about creating memories and helping people become less reliant on recipes and most importantly, creating a fun way to cook and eat healthier. If you treat cooking like a ‘Healthy Hobby” instead of a “diet”, then it’ll be something you WANT to do rather than HAVE to do, right?

I’m so happy Wok Stars and I continue to be in touch and keep up with their successes. These are only some of hundreds of fabulous comments I get from Wok Stars. If you’re a Wok Star, do email me.

My WOK STAR KIT and gas stove is a traveling kitchen, you can cook anywhere…
