Like many ABCs(American-born Chinese)and young Chinese immigrants(移民),sisters Sarah and Kaitlin Leung took great interest in Chinese food after they'd grown up,but found it really hard to learn how to prepare it. There was such a "gap",as Sarah puts it,compared(对比)with Western recipes(菜谱)presented on TVs or blogs(博客).
As it turns out,though,the Leungs have right positions to do something about this. Bill,the father,had spent years cooking beef at his family's Chinese American restaurant. Judy,the mom,was born and raised in Shanghai and had deep knowledge about traditional Shanghainese cooking. At the same time,the two sisters had grown up in the New Jersey country,eating their parents' food,but also growing in American food culture.
So,in 2013,the Leungs started a blog called "The Woks of Life". Different from other food blogs,it's intergenerational heritage(两代人之间的传承)cooking culture. The four family members took turns to post Chinese recipes,each sharing their own favourites with their area of knowledge.
Kaitlin says that "The Woks of Life" follows along line of pioneers,like Joyce Chen,Martin Yan and Ming Tsai,who first started to bring Chinese home cooking into the US and got more attention. "We feel excited we've done something meaningful over these years,explaining that there is a huge need for these recipes in the US," she says. "It's about the gap,yes,but there's also a huge need. Asian Americans like to reconnect with the food of their heritage."
"Five years ago,you wouldn't have been able to find a ton of Chinese recipes in the New York Times," Kaitlin says,"but now you can find them from blogs like 'The Woks of Life'."

像许多美国出生的华人（ABC）和年轻的中国移民一样，梁氏姐妹萨拉和凯特琳在长大后对中餐产生了浓厚的兴趣，但却发现学习如何制作中餐非常困难。正如萨拉所说，与电视或博客上展示的西餐菜谱相比，这里存在着这样的“差距”。
然而，事实证明，梁家人有合适的条件来改变这一状况。父亲比尔多年来一直在自家的中美餐厅里烹饪牛肉。母亲朱迪在上海出生并长大，对传统的上海菜有着深厚的了解。与此同时，姐妹俩在新泽西州长大，吃着父母做的食物，同时也在美国饮食文化中成长。
因此，2013年，梁家人创办了一个名为“生活之锅”的博客。与其他美食博客不同，它是两代人之间的烹饪文化传承。四位家庭成员轮流发布中餐菜谱，每个人都分享自己最喜欢的菜谱以及自己的相关知识领域。
凯特琳说，“生活之锅”追随了一批先驱者的脚步，比如陈朱莉、甄文达和蔡明昊，他们率先将中国家常菜引入美国并获得了更多关注。“这些年来我们做了一些有意义的事情，我们感到很兴奋，这说明美国对这些菜谱有很大的需求，”她说。“是的，这关乎差距，但也有巨大的需求。亚裔美国人喜欢重新接触他们传统的食物。”
“五年前，你在《纽约时报》上找不到大量的中餐菜谱，”凯特琳说，“但现在你可以从像‘生活之锅’这样的博客上找到它们。”
