The family behind the acclaimed blog The Woks of Life shares 100 of their favorite home-cooked and restaurant-style Chinese recipes in ”a very special book” (J. Kenji López-Alt, author of The Food Lab and The Wok)
This Chinese cookbook tells the story of a family through food. Judy, the mom, shares authentic Chinese recipes alongside cultural insights. Bill, the dad, draws from his experience in Chinese restaurants to guide you through making a glorious Cantonese Roast Duck. Daughters Sarah and Kaitlin bring vegetable-forward and one-dish meals—together, they present the first cookbook from the family behind the popular blog The Woks of Life.
Inside, you'll find classic and modern recipes like:
- Mini Char Siu Bao
- Spicy Beef Biang Biang Noodles
- Cantonese Pork Belly Fried Rice
- Salt-and-Pepper Fried Oyster Mushrooms.
A detailed Chinese pantry guide, essential wok techniques, and game-changing cooking secrets—like how to “velvet” meat for extra tenderness—make this a must-have wok cookbook.
When searching for the best Chinese-American cookbook, The Woks of Life is a great choice. The spiral bound version of this book is great for those who use their books regularly. Our proprietary binding helps you lay this title flat for easier reading and handling.

Real happy with my new cookbook that Lays Flat, worth the upgrade!
This is a wonderful cookbook! We have made three recipes so far (just got it for Christmas) and they have all been excellent. They recipes are easy to follow and easy to prepare. Love the background on the family.
Great recipes & personal tidbits. Very interesting collection of food & historical collaborations
