This Seoul Food Korean Cookbook by Naomi Imatome-Yun is not only a cookbook filled with 135 delicious recipes. But it also tells you about the Korean traditions/cultures along with the Korean Table Manners which you can find on Page 23. It was nice setting up my table like they would & experiencing what dinner is like for them. And I love their table manners such as no sneezing or coughing at the table or never decline food or drink offered to you by an elder. I also love how Naomi educates us on what cookware & tableware we will need to fully replicate the traditional recipes in this cookbook. The one thing that is highly recommended is a all in one rice cooker seeing that most of the dishes prepared in Korea always have a bowl of rice as their center dish. A all in one rice cooker will steam meats & veggies along with cooking rice. Or it can be used a slow cooker!
This recipe cookbook is perfect for anyone who loves trying out new dishes or anyone who loves Korean food. Me personally I love trying just about anything at least once. This cookbook is full of amazing dishes from appetizers, side dishes,poultry/fish, soups & stews to rice & noodle recipes. So far I have tried the Slow Cooker Shredded Sesame Chicken along with Kimchi Fried Rice & Tofu with sauteed kimchi. There are tons more I cannot wait to try! Overall I am very pleased with this Korean Cookbook by Naomi & I definitely recommend this cookbook to anyone looking to try something new. Or if you love Korean food!
The only negative thing I have to say about this Korean Cookbook would be that there are NO illustrations! No illustrations to show what the dishes look like finished. When using recipe books I love having a picture I can go by so I can make sure my finished meal is exactly like what they made. Also there is no glossary in the back! So if you don't understand a word or anything then you will have to use a dictionary or a search engine online. But other than that I loved everything about this Korean Cookbook!
