Named the “poet laureate of the wok” by food historian Betty Fussell, Grace Young has devoted her career to demystifying the ancient cooking utensil for use in contemporary kitchens. An award-winning cookbook author, culinary historian, and filmmaker, Grace has been a fierce advocate for Chinatown, never more so than in her recent video series “Coronavirus: Chinatown Stories,” produced in collaboration with videographer Dan Ahn and Poster House, which documents the toll of the pandemic on New York City’s Chinese community. Grace is the recipient of the 2020 James Beard Digital Media Award for her “Wok Therapist” comedy video, and also a five-time International Association of Culinary Professionals award winner. Her family’s wok, which dates back to 1949, will soon be added to the collection of the Smithsonian National Museum of American History, where it will serve as a significant artifact of Chinese American culinary history.
