I have watched the show and love Korean foods and spices, so I was really excited to get this book. Unfortunately the recipes I tried were less than expected. I tried foods that I have eaten many times before in our local Korea-town, and savored over the years. They lacked spice, or were too salty for my taste. The kimchi recipes which is the base of cooking were just bland. What is with the american cheese ? She say's it's there because the GI's brought it so they had to include it in cooking. Ok I get that but it does not make me think Korean cooking. It is a lovely book about a women and her adventure to her family's history but not a great cookbook.
No More Booklikes, BYE
I can't delete, I get hundreds of spam a day. I am out of here- running
