阅读理解  When I picked up The Woks of Life, a cookbook written by the Leung family, I was very excited. Inside there are mom-and-dad approved recipes with stories and photos — even a timeline — of the family's history. "We call our cookbook culinary genealogy(烹饪家谱). We wanted the book to be our family's stories told through food, rather than just characteristic recipes, " said Sarah Leung, who co-wrote the book during the pandemic(流行病)with her parents and younger sister. "We grew up in a food-obsessed(着迷的)family. Honestly, I've developed a quarter of these recipes myself, " Sarah added. "Over time, we'll accomplish our goal: All family members are competent Chinese cooks. " The cookbook features dishes which might be made in a Chinese American home as well as in Chinese American takeout restaurants. "Home-style cooking and restaurant-style cooking have equal importance, but they are different, " Sarah said, adding that the family also discussed how to be respectful of each point. "I hope the recipes will appeal to Chinese Americans, like my family, and also those less familiar with Chinese cooking. "  Part of their cookbook has also been posted on their website attracting millions of faithful followers. The success of the cookbook is that it honors tradition as well as reflects modern interpretations, making it a mixture of the old and the new. It also offers building blocks for home cooks who want to learn to cook Chinese food.   I started my exploration with the Kung Pao Chicken, a popular dish and also my favorite. Joyfully, the dish I made tasted like it was supposed to be. It really built up my confidence. Surely, as you can imagine, I have also set up my goal to be expert in Chinese cooking.   The cookbook is promoting Chinese cooking to become the domain of home cooks in the United States. For too long, Chinese cooking has been a cuisine that many people are used to only eating out.   (1) Why is the cookbook called culinary genealogy?   A .
