Hi there!
Welcome to Wok & Skillet®. My name is Char Ferrara and I'm thrilled to have you here.
I started Wok & Skillet just as a creative outlet but over time, it became my passion to share simple and easy Asian recipes with others. What began as a small project has grown into a blog that’s been around for over a decade — and it still brings me so much joy to share these recipes with home cooks around the world.
On May 23rd 2017, my first cookbook, "The Healthy Wok!" was launched!
I also had the incredible opportunity to discuss the growing popularity of authentic Chinese cuisine in an interview with CGTN America.
As a Malaysian-Chinese home cook in Malaysia, I grew up surrounded by the vibrant, diverse flavors of Asia.
Wok & Skillet is a reflection of the foods I enjoyed growing up in the culinary melting pot of Asia, as well as the many years I spent in the United States.
I share simple and easy Asian (and Asian-inspired) recipes you can make at home!
In most of my recipes here, you'll find detailed step-by-step instructions along with photos.
Cooking does not have to be intimidating and I hope that by reading my recipes and posts, you'll be convinced that if I can do it, you can too.
We currently live on the beautiful island of Penang, Malaysia. Although I was born and raised here, I spent most of my adult life in the US, and returned to Malaysia in 2015 after 15 years in the Pacific Northwest.
I’m married to my best friend, David, and we have two amazing sons, Jayden and Brennan.
Thanks again for dropping by! I hope you enjoy exploring these recipes as much as I have enjoyed putting them together!
I love connecting with my readers, so if you have questions, want to collaborate, or just want to say "Hello", I can be reached at char@wokandskillet.com.
Happy cooking!
