The book contains the favorite dishes Maangchi has perfected over the years， from Korean barbecue and fried chicken to bulgogi and bibimbap。 It explores topics not covered in other Korean cookbooks， from the vegan fare of Buddhist mountain temples to the inventive snacks of street vendors to the healthful， beautiful lunch boxes Korean mothers make for their kids。 Maangchi has updated and improved the traditional dishes， without losing their authentic spirit。
Among the features:
• Spectacular party food， from homemade clear rice liquor to sweet， spicy， sour baby back ribs
• Side plates that support and complement every Korean meal
• Soups， hotpots， and stews， from bone broth to tofu stews
• An array of different kimchis
• A detailed photographic chapter on Korean cooking techniques
Hundreds of striking， full-color photos by Maangchi show Korean ingredients so the cook knows exactly what to buy， step-by-step techniques for each recipe， and tempting close-ups of every dish。

Food is delicious， easy to follow recipes， has a wide variety of recipes and a great cultural context for the foods in the book for people that aren't from the culture。 Food is delicious， easy to follow recipes， has a wide variety of recipes and a great cultural context for the foods in the book for people that aren't from the culture。 。。。more

Great recipesI really enjoyed trying different recipes from this book。 They were easy to follow and resulted in flavorful dishes。 I did find that using an ebook to try to page through to search for recipes was not as easy as a normal print copy。 My go-to format of preference is the latter。

I just received this book and maybe it’s too soon but I already have a list of recipes to make from this cookbook and I know they’re going to be good since it’s Maangchi。I specially appreciate that they’re vegetarian options and new recipes that weren’t on her website （that I know）。 Including some fermentation 🙌🏻

Korean cooking made easy！ I grew up with Korean food， and now， as an adult， Maangchi and her cookbook （discovered through her YouTube channel） help me reconnect to my heritage。

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 Great photos， great guidance and instruction - it really is a great introduction and primer for Korean cooking。 More than just kimchi and bulgogi， this book covers ingredients （what they are and where to find them）， foods for special occasions， and backgrounds on the recipes。 Happy reading and cooking， thanks to Maangchi！

Some really good recipesI definitely don't have the skill or access to a lit of these ingredients。 Many of these recipes are certainly out of my league。 Some more ingredient substitutions and cheats （like for time or appliances） would have been welcomed with open arms。 Some really good recipesI definitely don't have the skill or access to a lit of these ingredients。 Many of these recipes are certainly out of my league。 Some more ingredient substitutions and cheats （like for time or appliances） would have been welcomed with open arms。 。。。more

I've been pushing off this review for so long because I feel I should try a few more recipes before I post anything。 But this is one BIG book。 Here are the recipes I tried with my thoughts:Octopus Porridge-I made this with shrimp instead and it was very comforting and nice for breakfast。 I recommend reducing the recipe if you're cooking for one because I had a lot of leftovers that didn't keep very well。 Soy Butter Pan-Grilled Chicken-A MEAL PREP GO TO。 This is so simple and extremely delicious， I've been pushing off this review for so long because I feel I should try a few more recipes before I post anything。 But this is one BIG book。 Here are the recipes I tried with my thoughts:Octopus Porridge-I made this with shrimp instead and it was very comforting and nice for breakfast。 I recommend reducing the recipe if you're cooking for one because I had a lot of leftovers that didn't keep very well。 Soy Butter Pan-Grilled Chicken-A MEAL PREP GO TO。 This is so simple and extremely delicious， but what can you expect with soy sauce and butter？ Paired with some ssamjang， seasoned scallions and white rice， these made for some tasty lettuce wraps。 Spicy Grilled Chicken-Depending on the gochujang you use， this can get very spicy which is much appreciated！ I often made this as lettuce wraps with some gamja jorim as a side。 I make this often as well。Spicy Stir-Fried Pork-I think this was the first recipe I made from this book and it was a hit！ I made it for some of my co-workers for a mini potluck and they really liked it。 Some complained it was too spicy so reduce the spice level if （you're a wimp） you prefer milder flavors。 Or honestly skip this and make the Soy Butter Chicken instead。Glazed Meatballs-A serious disappointment。 Very one note flavor with just the ground beef and glaze。 I much prefer Korean Bapsang's recipe （check out her blog， it's awesome too！） as she has pork and beef with scallions， ginger， garlic and more。 I tried Maangchi's recipe after I made the other one and it doesn't come close。Garlicky Cooked Soybean Sprouts-Not a big sprout fan to be honest， but this was a solid side dish that can be made ahead and keep for days when many of the side dishes only last for a day if even。 Overall mild flavor with the garlic and fish sauce coming through。 It's fine。Blanched Seasoned Spinach-I made this with boy choy instead and it was really tasty and pairs well with any of the meat dishes I mentioned above。 I like adding extra garlic and pepper flakes to give it a stronger flavor。Chive Pancake-I tend to substitute a lot depending on what vegetables are in season so I've used this recipe to make pancakes with ramps， scallions and garlic chives so far。 The most delicious was the ramp pancake or sanmaneuljeon。 A recipe specifically for this can be found on Maangchi's website。 I recommend adding up to a tbsp of gochujang if you want more flavor。 Paired with a dipping sauce of soy sauce， vinegar， a pinch of sugar， some water and sesame seeds and you're good to go。 I clearly have a lot to say on the recipe and that's because I've made it the most often。 A lunch or dinner go-to。Tuna Pancakes-I made these once for meal prep and they were good and kept in the fridge for up to 4 days okay。 I paired these with some rice and blanched bok choy。 Honestly， not my favorite， but do try to get Korean canned tuna as I did taste a different。 It was much stronger in flavor and meatier。 Fire Chicken with Cheese-What a wild recipe！ This is some SPICY chicken smothered in melted mozzarella。 I think I needed to get a softer， meltier mozzarella because mine didn't melt as much as I wanted too。 But actually， I just remembered I didn't have a cast iron skillet or oven safe skillet to broil at the end。 Now that I do have one， I need to try this again。。。Recipes I really want to get to next: kimchi hand-torn noodle soup， stir-fried potato and ham， spicy garlic fried shrimp， japchae， pepper and perilla leaf pancakes， honey cookies， rabokki and many more！Apart from one or two I was kind of disappointed in， everything was so delicious and a joy to make。 Korean cooking has been a passion of mine for a long time and this book added so much it！ I think this would be a great cook book for those who want to get into Korean cooking or want to have a solid collection of many areas in Korean cooking at their disposal。 This is better than her first cookbook （the flavors and amount of sauce was kind of off in my opinion） so if you're choosing between the two， get this one。 Anything not in here， you'll probably be able to find on her blog or YouTube channel。 I have another dozen or so recipes of hers I want to get to so I better get cooking！ 。。。more

Maangchi was the first blogger I followed when i first got married to my Korean American husband。 She basically taught me my Korean food basics。 Love the recipes in this book， easy to follow and delicious as always。 Well done Maanghi！

Made the bulgogi and a seafood pancake。 The bulgogi is such an easy recipe and came out perfect。 The pancake came out well too， and I thought the process outlined in the book was really helpful and resulted in a pancake that looked almost like the photo with minimal effort。 I'd only eaten pajeon in restaurants， so it was fun to make my own。I enjoyed reading the headnotes on these recipes， and learned about a lot of foods I hadn't heard of before。 I'm not into most time-consuming projects （especi Made the bulgogi and a seafood pancake。 The bulgogi is such an easy recipe and came out perfect。 The pancake came out well too， and I thought the process outlined in the book was really helpful and resulted in a pancake that looked almost like the photo with minimal effort。 I'd only eaten pajeon in restaurants， so it was fun to make my own。I enjoyed reading the headnotes on these recipes， and learned about a lot of foods I hadn't heard of before。 I'm not into most time-consuming projects （especially since K-town is one subway stop away for me）， but I definitely appreciated hearing about how certain things like yakju and rice cakes are made。 And even though I'm more likely to buy the pre-cleaned shrimp and octopus， I thought it was an interesting addition to have a bunch of back matter about how to prepare those ingredients。 。。。more

What an excellent resource on Korean cooking。 Maangchi has really included everything you could think of - vegetarian， meat， seafood， soups， sweets， good lunchbox ideas， even street/fusion food， special occasions food， and Buddhist temple food。 This book is THICK。While she is definitely a Cook in the sense that she would prefer you don't take shortcuts （make your own stock， roast your own seaweed， etc。）， they are available if you need them。 All in all， I think I bookmarked two dozen or more reci What an excellent resource on Korean cooking。 Maangchi has really included everything you could think of - vegetarian， meat， seafood， soups， sweets， good lunchbox ideas， even street/fusion food， special occasions food， and Buddhist temple food。 This book is THICK。While she is definitely a Cook in the sense that she would prefer you don't take shortcuts （make your own stock， roast your own seaweed， etc。）， they are available if you need them。 All in all， I think I bookmarked two dozen or more recipes to try。 I recommend this to anyone looking to try some Korean meals。 。。。more

I don’t know if I’ll ever cook Korean dishes— but if I do Maangchi will be my go-to source。 This cookbook has beautiful images and step by step guides and ingredient photos in the front to help out when shopping。 It’s almost like walking through an international market， and that is a favorite thing to do visiting big cities！Some negatives in regards to this cookbook: if Korean cooking IS your goal， a lot of these recipes are labor intensive and take a long time to make。 Especially if you’re maki I don’t know if I’ll ever cook Korean dishes— but if I do Maangchi will be my go-to source。 This cookbook has beautiful images and step by step guides and ingredient photos in the front to help out when shopping。 It’s almost like walking through an international market， and that is a favorite thing to do visiting big cities！Some negatives in regards to this cookbook: if Korean cooking IS your goal， a lot of these recipes are labor intensive and take a long time to make。 Especially if you’re making kimchi from scratch。 Fermentation is no joke！ Additionally， the authentic meal apparently has quite a few side dishes that also need to be prepared to go with the main meal— but it’s left up to the cook to decide。 There’s not really a guide for what dishes go well together。 You do pick it up while watching Maangchi’s videos on YouTube but going into it cold would probably be a bit confusing。 Anyway naysaying aside this is a fantastic book and I loved reading the recipe descriptions and seeing the photos。 。。。more

I love Maangchi and her latest cookbook is amazing。 The glossy pictures with every recipe drew me in and I could definitely see myself making many of these recipes！ Some are Korean classic and some have an American twist， but they all have that Maangchi touch that makes it possible for the home cook to make Korean food in a simple way！

I love Maangchi’s recipes！ Her food reminds me of my mom’s cooking and the recipes allow me to recreate favorite dishes I didn’t know how to make before！ （My mom taught herself how to cook when she came stateside and cooked by taste， no measuring， making it a challenge to learn dishes。） Maangchi’s book has easy to follow instructions， a shopping guide， wonderful history and stories， and gorgeous photography just to highlight a bIt of what’s in this latest cookbook。 I’ve tried a couple of recipes I love Maangchi’s recipes！ Her food reminds me of my mom’s cooking and the recipes allow me to recreate favorite dishes I didn’t know how to make before！ （My mom taught herself how to cook when she came stateside and cooked by taste， no measuring， making it a challenge to learn dishes。） Maangchi’s book has easy to follow instructions， a shopping guide， wonderful history and stories， and gorgeous photography just to highlight a bIt of what’s in this latest cookbook。 I’ve tried a couple of recipes and love them！ The stir fried anchovies came out perfectly-a little crunchy and chewy， with a spicy sweetness。 The Korean fruit salad was also a big hit and will be a go-to for family get togethers！ I can’t wait to try the rest。 。。。more
