Korean Home Cooking

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

In Korean Home Cooking, Sohui Kim shares the authentic Korean flavours found in the dishes at her restaurant and the recipes from her family. Sohui is well-regarded for her sense of sohnmat, a Korean phrase that roughly translates to "taste of the hand," or an ease and agility with making food taste delicious.

With 100 recipes, Korean Home Cooking is a comprehensive look at Korean cuisine. It includes recipes for kimchee, crisp mung bean pancakes, seaweed soup, spicy chicken stew, and japchae noodles, as well as more traditional fare such as soondae (blood sausage) and yuk hwe (beef tartare).

With Sohui's guidance, stories from her family, and photographs of her travels in Korea, Korean Home Cooking brings rich cultural traditions into your home kitchen.
