Join us for an author talk and book signing with Sarah and Kaitlin Leung, authors of the newly released cookbook, The Woks of Life: Recipes to Know and Love from a Chinese American Family. Eastwind Books will be onsite and will have a limited number of copies to sell for attendees interested in purchasing a copy of the cookbook.
About the authors:
Sarah and Kaitlin Leung, along with their parents Bill and Judy, are the creators of The Woks of Life. Founded in 2013, The Woks of Life began as a quest to document one family’s history through food and has become the most popular online resource for Chinese cooking in English, recording generations of recipes for millions of home cooks.
Bill, Judy, Sarah and Kaitlin Leung (see above image) have been featured on PBS and Magnolia Network, and online by the Food Network and Good Morning America. The family lives in New Jersey, where they cook, write, and photograph recipes together—and continue their eternal debate over what’s for dinner.
This humorous, highly immersive, and historically accurate talk uncovers the African-American roots of popular music genres that appear to be free of African-Americans. Utilizing a rich audiovisual presentation, Mark Montgomery French reveals the sonic secrets behind African-Americans’ cultural invisibility within the musical categories they helped define.
