THE WOKS OF LIFE
Sarah Leung Judy Leung Kaitlin Leung Bill Leung
Recipes to Know and Love from a Chinese American Family
The family behind the acclaimed blog Woks of Life share more than 100 of their favorite home-cooked and restaurant-style recipes that represent their Chinese genealogy.
THE WOKS OF LIFE is not just a stunning cookbook but it's also the story of a family told through food and speaks to preserving the Leung's family traditions. And each member of the family has stories to tell and their own personal helpful tricks and tips and anecdotes that make this book both poignant and funny - and mostly, delicious!
You'll find a compendium of go-to, accessible, and essential Chinese recipes, from Pork & Shrimp Siu Mai and Spicy Beef Biang Biang Noodles to Cantonese Pork Belly Fried Rice and Salt-and-Pepper Fried Oyster Mushrooms, including plenty of vegetarian recipes throughout. There is also a rundown of the Chinese pantry, explanations on essential tools (including the all-important wok), and game-changing Chinese cooking secrets like how to "velvet" meat to make it extra tender and juicy.
Whether you're new to Chinese cooking or you already dabble in bean paste and chili oil, you'll find inspiration from this chorus of voices, and trustworthy recipes that will become a part of your family story, too.
The Leungs have 7.9 million page views a month - 3.1 million of which are unique visitors. Their Instagram following has more than doubled from 109k to 221k - add to that their Pinterest followers and Facebook fans and you have more than a quarter-million home cooks who can't wait for their cookbook. With Bill's background in restaurants, Judy's devotion to tradition, and Sarah and Kaitlin's desire for trendy, vegetable-forward food that's doable on a busy weeknight, their cookbook delivers multiple POVs and insights, creating a target audience of Gen Z through Baby Boomers.
