Connecting over the food & family we love đČ Sarah Leung, Woks of Life
Manage episode 283100521 series 2532303
âAs the community grows and people come back, they start wanting to know more about us and where we're coming from. We wanted to make that really clear--the origin of all of these recipes and of our family.â - Sarah Leung
The Woks of Life has opened the door for many families to connect over the food and memories they love. The Leung family, Bill and Judy, and daughters Sarah and Kaitlin started the blog to document their favorite Chinese dishes and family memories in 2013.
Food has been a central part of their family's heritage. Sarahâs grandpa was a chef in the New York Catskills and Sarahâs dad, Bill, worked with him in the restaurants.
Today, their blog is recognized as an authority for Chinese cooking and has sparked a robust online community. They developed their beloved editorial lens by capturing sincere experiences and rich memories with food as Chinese Americans. We talk with Sarah of how her family found their voice and supercharged others to share theirs too.
Highlights, inspiration, & key learnings:
- Origin story. Sarah and her sister realized they werenât eating the food of their childhood without their parents around.
- Role modeling conversations. Attaching memories to recipes.
- Spark of community. Realizing that the blog was bigger than just their family.
- Creating an editorial lens. Capturing the breadth of experience people have with Chinese cuisine.
- Responding to feedback. Keeping the blog âliving and breathingâ and always improving.
