Customer Reviews

Very Cluttered

If you love pictures, then this book is for you. Every page is crammed from top to bottom with no empty space. For example, the ingredients are not listed individually, each on a separate line, but rather in a run-in fashion making it difficult to follow. Having said that, the book contains lovely Korean recipes. Nothing fancy here, just basic everyday Korean recipes. If you have space on your book shelves, buy this book. Other I should have passed up the opportunity. Only 2 stars.

The Korean Cooking Bible

This is the book that Korean mothers buy for their daughters when they get married!!! It's as close to authentic as you can get.

Simple easy to use with flavorful results even to the novice

Practical Korean Cooking is well worth the investment. Its easy to follow directions, supported by pictures with step by step directions make this one of the easiest Asian cookbooks to use. With its well laid out sections it is easy to plan a traditional Korean meal down to what the table should look like. The handy glossary of terms make it valuable to the seasoned cook or the beginner. A must have cookbook for the eclectic cook.

Which Korean cookbook should you get? This one, no doubt.

I was raised eating Korean food, but when I moved away from home, I didn't know how to cook it for myself. My sister uses this book, and now I do, too.

the most correct cookbooks for authentic korean cooking

After spending a year in Korea, living on korean food, I found this book to be the best the I have found on the subject. The pictures of the raw ingredients, the preparation pictures, the finished dish pictures and the text were very well adapted to the novice american/korean cook. If you want real korean taste, get this book!
