The wok is one of my favorite things to work with when I'm camping.

Outdoor cooking is not just about hot dogs and hamburgers. There are so many styles of food you can make.

With wok cooking, you chop things up into little pieces for maximum surface area, so they can cook in minutes, if not seconds. Sauteing is energy efficient; baking is not.

I have more to say as a writer than from behind a wok.

I like to abide by the seasons and let the natural flavor in food speak for itself. I use quick cooking techniques of high heat with very little fat, such as quick saute or wok stir-frying.

My goal in 'Live to Cook' is to make great food more approachable for home cooks.

My hubby makes a mean salmon steak at the grill, but he leaves all the sides up to me. I love to grill and roast vegetables. I also experiment with baking instead of frying some things, like onion rings. I even make biscuits with coconut oil these days.

I find cooking very therapeutic. As a creative person, I relish cooking because it's such a creative process. You can cook anything out of anything.

The only thing I've cooked while entertaining is stir-fry.
