Eating Korean: From Barbecue to Kimchi, Recipes from My Home Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Despite growing up in a Korean American kitchen, cooking Korean food has always been this mystery to me. Like many others, I have read many Korean cookbooks trying to find a way to make the comfort food I grew up with, and I find this particular cookbook to be exactly what I've been looking for. For one, it's the only Korean cookbook to have more than 1 or 2 recipes that I was seeking. Not only does it have more than 1 or 2, it has ALL the important ones I've wanted. I think any cookbook recipes will have some flaws. You have to tweak them for sure, so I don't feel I can take off stars for this fact. I actually appreciate that the ingredient lists are simple and uncomplicated. I plan on using the recipes as a springboard - to get the gist. Then I plan on calling my sisters and mom for advice on how to improve it and what to add. I also am increasingly wary of complaints concerning superficial aspects of cookbooks: black and white pictures, lack of pictures, and - the most offensive to me - the color of the recipe titles. I used to think these things were important, but the more and more I read cookbooks the more I find the higher quality cookbooks don't have color pictures or fancy visuals. Bottom line, Cecilia Hae-Jin Lee has lifted the mystery of Korean cooking, and, yes, the stories are a great bonus.
