Korean Home Cooking: Classic and Modern Recipes

Has lots of pictures showing each steps. Great book if you are a beginner cook as well. Easy to follow.

Das Buch ist ein echtes Schmuckstück, reich bebildert und mit einer Menge Rezepte, die auch für den Hobbykoch gut nachzukochen sind. Haben schon Einiges ausprobiert und mit dem Ergebnis stets zufrieden.

Among the many Korean cook books I had purchased from Amazon, this book did not align with what I was looking for. Each dish is accompanied by illustration which is good but a bit “too formal” for my preference in style and writing.

Really broadened our culinary horizons , in depth easy to make recipes

I am not Korean and have now made several recipes from this book, banchan, soups, braised ribs (the baby back ribs are to die for), and juk. Every single one has been a hit with my family, and though a few were more involved, none were terribly hard to make. There is an explanation of all the ingredients, pictures, and recipe procedures are very clear. Our family has really gotten into banchan, so I can make fresh small batches as needed just by reducing the recipes. You can also adjust the recipes to your family's tastes, such as I will reduce the sugar and/or salt in most recipes (not just in this cookbook), and it doesn't affect the end result. I have yet to try making the kimbap - those sushi-like rolls - because I haven't gotten around to buying a bamboo mat to make the rolls, but I'm looking forward to making them soon for summer picnics. This has been my go-to cookbook all winter into the spring. And I have to say, my end results look pretty similar to the pictures, which says a lot for the cookbook!
