Ever wondered what to do with that jar of kimchi you bought on impulse?
Would you like to expand your taste and flavor range, and understand something about Korean style cuisine?
This simple and well illustrated little book will help you answer all three of the questions above and much more.
It is not the last word in cooking Korean, but it will get you started with easy to prepare dishes. Once you have explored the book, and maybe prepared a dish or two, perhaps you will not be intimidated or put off so as to avoid going to a Korean restaurant.
I have a sister-in-law who has a granddaughter, a journalism major, currently living and teaching (English) in Korea. The S-I-L is pretty much meat and potatoes bound, and I thought that this little book would be something of interest to her and maybe help her to understand that all over the world, people are the same in that we all like good things to eat.
And it might give her something to talk with the granddaughter about as well to help the granddaughter share her experience and adventures as a stranger in a strange land.
This is a great little book for any and all of these purposes -- for personal edification, for culinary exploration, and for a gift.
