Bill

Bill Leung is the patriarch of The Woks of Life family, working on the blog alongside wife Judy and daughters Sarah and Kaitlin. Born in upstate New York, Bill comes from a long line of professional chefs. From his mother’s Cantonese kitchen to bussing tables, working as a line cook, and helping to run his parents’ restaurant, he offers lessons and techniques from over 50 years of cooking experience. Specializing in Cantonese recipes, American Chinese takeout (straight from the family restaurant days), and even non-Chinese recipes (from working in Borscht Belt resort kitchens), he continues to build what Bon Appétit has called “the Bible of Chinese Home Cooking.” Along with the rest of the family, Bill is a New York Times bestselling cookbook author and James Beard and IACP Award nominee, and has been developing recipes for over a decade.
