The Food and Cooking of Korea

This is a sumptuously illustrated source book and practical instruction course on Korean cooking, its history, ingredients and culinary traditions. Classic Korean dishes are healthy and low in fat, and rely on seasonings and spices such as garlic, red chilli paste (gochujang), soya bean paste (doenjang), pepper and ginger. This beautiful book contains over 150 deliciously aromatic recipes from classic kimchis, irresistible street snacks and fresh salads to filling rice and noodle dishes, spicy meat and poultry mains, and cooling desserts. In Korea, diners compliment cooks by saying that their food has a gamchilmat, meaning it suffuses the whole mouth with taste. The wide-ranging recipes shown here will allow you to experience this distinctive culinary magic for yourself.
