" Korean Home Cooking is a revelation. It is an education in Korean cuisine and a roadmap for bringing it into your kitchen, with recipes that are as smart and delicious as they are achievable. Herein is a body of knowledge that needed a generous cook like Sohui to shape and share it, and it deserves a spot on every serious cook's bookshelf." --Peter Meehan, author, founder of Lucky Peach Sohui Kim is the Brooklyn-based owner and chef of three successful and popular restaurants: The Good Fork, Gage & Tollner, and Insa, a restaurant dedicated to the Korean food she grew up with. In Korean Home Cooking , she shares the authentic Korean flavors found in the dishes at Insa and her favorite family recipes. Kim is well-regarded for her classic recipes, popular restaurants, and the ease and agility she has with making her food taste delicious. With 100 recipes, her book Korean Home Cooking is a comprehensive look at Korean cuisine, and includes recipes for: Kimchee Crisp mung bean pancakes Seaweed soup Spicy chicken stew Japchae noodles Soondae (blood sausage) Yuk hwe (beef tartare) And dozens more! Kim writes in her introduction, "The greatest compliment I have received about my cooking was from my mom and aunt, who told me right before I opened the restaurant that I have good sohn mat . A Korean cook's talent is measured in her sohn mat: The literal translation is 'taste of the hand.' Someone who has a good sohn mat has a deft hand with seasonings, yes, but is also someone who was born with a passion for food. . . . I want to introduce you to the seasonal, the homemade, the sewed and the pickled, the real Korean way of cooking, all made with as much sohn mat as I can muster." With Sohui Kim's guidance, stories from her family, and photographs of her travels in Korea, Korean Home Cooking --written with James Beard Award-winning journalist Rachel Wharton--brings rich cultural traditions into your home kitchen. "If you're looking to further develop your sohn mat , or 'taste of the hand, ' this book is a must-have." Saveur
