Editorial Reviews:
|
A wonderful collection of recipes by Chang Sun-Young, whose sons and daughters-in-law begged that she write these down. The family project soon had enough recipes to become a book, and Mrs. Chang became a bestselling author in Korea. This full color cookbook includes sections on rice, soups, stews, meats, vegetables and the full range of Korean cuisine. The author's personality shines through in the additional notes about friends, entertaining and foods for special days.

Summary: Book is good but not worth $160.
Comment: Nice pictures, I would recommend reading the other reviews. There are 2 to 3 recipes that I would definately make - the others either don't tempt me or are too hard to make. I found this book through a recipe on [...] called Korean Fire Pork - excellent recipe. If you want the recipe go there. The book lists for [...] on another site.

Summary: NOT for beginners!
Comment: I'm Korean, but have rarely ventured into the kitchen. I ordered this book and found it overwhelming. Even the instructions for basic dishes appear quite complicated and time consuming. There are few photos, and the photos that are in the book are quite small. One recipe calls for 2 pounds of "beef" but doesn't explain what kind. Another recipe calls for "beef bones" but what the heck does that mean? How does one make "ginger juice" or "pear juice" called for in various recipes? I got the impression this book is geared for a homemaker who already knows their way around a kitchen, and not for a busy working woman/man without much cooking experience.

Summary: Good for Beginners
Comment: First, $99.95 for a used copy? Are you kidding me? This book retails for $28.00 and sells for $21.09 on another Korean bookstore site. Maybe it is $9.95? Most of the recipes are simple and straight forward. The directions are easy to follow, and the results are consistently delicious.

Summary: Korean cuisine 101
Comment: I was looking for a good basic Korean cookbook, and this one fits the ticket. The instructions are clear, and the personal notes throughout are a nice touch. I did not want to pay $100 dollars (!) for a $25 book, so I googled the title and found it at a small, Korean specialty dealer for $25. (just a hint! ^_^ )

Summary: A gem of a Korean cookbook!!
Comment: Finally...the cookbook I've been searching for! I am of Korean descent and grew up on its cuisine, but never really learned the ins and outs of Korean cooking other than the most basic dishes. I always thought many of the dishes were cumbersome and time consuming, but this book made the process enjoyable.
I have several other Korean cookbooks and none of them can compare to this one. It's chock full of information and excellent tips that my mother or mother-in-law never even taught me. It made me want to try recipes that I never thought of making, and they were all excellent! I would give it 10 stars if I wasn't limited to 5.
