Here’s another vegan recipe I tested for Terry Hope Romano’s upcoming international cookbook.

Testing The Cookplus Vitamin Wok With A Swiss Chard Apples Recipe

The newest addition to my cookware collection is the Cookplus Vitamin 11-inch Wok from Lock&Lock. This aluminum wok has a vibrant red exterior and a non-stick interior coating. It is pretty light, but also seems quite durable. I decided to test it out with a sauteed dish – Swiss Chard With Apples.
