The Recipes

This book is one part traditional Korean recipes that have been handed down through generations, or passed “through her mother’s hands,” as is said in Korea when referring to home cooked meals, and it is one part Taekyung’s creative interpretation of them adjusted for contemporary tastes. She uses sauces and methods that are clearly Korean, but her delicious creations are original. Along with finding classic dishes like Bibimbap and Bulgogi, you will also encounter novel recipes for Ginger Jelly or Sesame-Soy Pudding—desserts that she conjures up from everyday Korean ingredients.
