Korean Home Cooking: 100 Authentic Everyday Recipes, from Bulgogi to Bibimbap

After a brief introduction, Jung (of the YouTube cooking channel Jay’s KFOOD) dives right into the recipes in her first cookbook. Readers who like a bit more guidance would do well to flip through the pages first to be sure they have everything they need on hand. The book is divided into seven sections, which are aligned with Korean cooking: rice; noodles, pancakes, and fritters; vegetables, kimchi, and pickles; meat and poultry; fish and seafood; and desserts and drinks. Each recipe is titled in Korean Hangul characters, transcribed Korean, and English, alongside a beautiful image of the finished product. There are so many delectable dishes to get excited about, from classic bibimbap, pork bulgogi, refreshing surimi salad, and hearty kimchi stew to tasty yakgwa biscuits. Readers new to Korean cooking will be encouraged by the straightforward recipes, and those who have grown up with these foods will be comforted by their authenticity.
