The book is well presented, very interesting and arrived 1/04/10. Ordering it through Amazon was difficult as the site would not accept my valid password for several times and then — even though it had said that I didnt exist it added two books to my order, that I had ordered and received some months previously.
It took some time to delete them from this order.

I’ve been looking for that “perfect” Korean cookbook for as long as I can remember, and this comes as close as it gets to being that cookbook. While not every recipe is a perfect match to the tastes I grew up with, most are. The steps are clear and concise, stories are engaging, and the recipes are just hands-down delicious. One of the best, authentic Korean cookbooks on the market. Other notable examples are Maangchi’s Korean Cookbook and Discovering Korean Cuisine (which has the definitive soon-dubu recipe that perfectly matches what I find at my favorite Korean restaurant).
This was a gift I received from a family member. I am not the greatest cook in the world and I can become very overwhelmed by recipe books. This one, I not only enjoyed looking at the recipes and feeling capable of making them, I enjoyed reading her narratives. I still have not attempted to make anything since I have not been cooking anything but my tried & trues for the past year – due to planning a marriage, getting married & now planning the move to be with my husband.
I am taking this cookbook with me to Korea and plan to add my own discoveries as I learn how to cook from my mother-in-law.
…. and the stories and tidbits don’t hurt either. This is the first Korean cookbook that I’ve come across that actually made korean cooking do-able for me. it is straight forward and descriptive w/o being wordy.
the ingredients are ordinary but the results are all fabulous.
I started out easy with the bibimbop and tofu dishes and the chicken/pork/beef bbq marinades. then I ventured out into the hearty soups and side dishes. all recipes have been reliable.
This book isn’t perfect but no book is and I’m actually thankful this one exists because it allowed me to gain confidence in korean cooking. who knew I would be making kim-chi at home??
This book has a lot of recipes that come to mind when one thinks of Korean food. Some of the recipes are good, however, some are just bad. It’s a hit-or-miss kind of a book. For example, the recipe for pinenut porridge, that was a disaster. My mom, who was born and raised in Korea who is a lauded cook, tasted the food I made and she was like, what is this? Also, the fried chicken recipe was not good at all. However, the bulgogi recipe is good. So as I stated, some are good (however, not excellent), while others are just plain BAD. I would just go ahead and buy a book that has more consistently.
