| Maangchi's Real Korean Cooking: Authentic Dishes for the Home Cook |
MAANGCHI ("Hammer" in Korean) was born and raised in South Korea, where she learned the fundamentals of home cooking from her relatives. A former counselor for victims of domestic violence and movie extra, she is the founder-owner of maangchi.com, the top online destination for Korean cooking. She also has her own YouTube channel. She lives in New York City.
I got this book to better understand my boyfriend's culture. He's been complaining about the lack of good Korean food in our town. After he visited his mom in Seoul (and had her amazing cooking), I decided that it might be nice to cook for him. But there's a problem: I'm terrible at cooking. Just terrible. I need pictures, love, and encouragement to actually cook an edible meal. This cookbook provides it all. Maangchi uses great photos, crystal-clear instructions, and an introductory guide to the Korean pantry as the perfect recipe to teach anyone (including clueless cooks like me) how to make delicious Korean food.-M.k
I’ve made so many of these recipes that I couldn’t even think about picking a favorite. Before Maangchi, I’d never tried Korean cuisine. Now it’s a part of my everyday life. If you’re tired of the same old hamburgers and spaghetti and grilled chicken breasts, pick up this book and prepare to have your culinary mind blown. I’d recommend starting with the Fire Chicken. -Derick
I'm so glad I bought this. It is big, sturdy, with thick pages, and so many color photos. Maangchi walks you step by step through the recipes. The index in the back is helpful if you know you are looking for a recipe with perilla leaves, for example. I also love how she dedicates a portion of the book to talking about the right equipment, pantry staples, etc. A lot of it is what is on her website, but I'm ok with that. I also love how she has a little bio piece in the front. She gives helpful tips, etc. From basics like cooking white sticky rice to scarier things (for me) like squid, it's all there. -Eddie Black
