Growing Up in a Korean Kitchen - by Hi Sooshin Hepinstall - This book just feels like Korea from the colorful descriptions of the author's childhood to the page design. Most of the recipes in Growing Up in a Korean Kitchen have been handed down in her family for generations and are deliciously authentic (unless otherwise noted). You will find familiar recipes such as Seasoned Eggplant, Bean Curd and Vegetable Hot Pot, and the more unusual ones, at least to non-Koreans, such as Pine Needle Scented Rice Cakes or Salted Yellow Corvina Chaban. There are recipes for numerous kimchi variations. Her instructions are easy to follow and lovingly splashed with palpable descriptions such as "marshmallow-like dough", "plump half-moon shape". No photos. | |||||

A Korean Mother's Cooking Notes - by Chang Sun-Young - Another out-of-print book that is worth trying to get your hands on. The very authentic recipes are divided up by cooking method such as stewed, braised, broiled or pan-fried. There is not much of a glossary, but the recipe instructions are extremely helpful and detailed, augmented by hints, and she often provides substitutes for the more hard to find items. Some photos. | |||||

The Food of Korea: Authentic Recipes from the Land of Morning Calm - by David Clive Price - As most other books in the Periplus series, it is a good introduction to the food and cooking of a country. The Food of Korea begins with a culinary tour, information on kimchi, spices, liquors, tea, table etiquette, and the Korean kitchen and ingredients. The recipes shoot for authenticity and do quite well on that front. Fully illustrated. | |||||

Korean Cooking - by Hilaire Walden - This well illustrated book features a sampling of the most popular Korean dishes and a pictorial glossary of Korean ingredients.. | |||||
 |
Practical Korean Cooking - by Noh Chin-Hwa, Shirley Dorow - First off, I can't say I like the design of this book, but it is definitely no-nonsense. The pages of Practical Korean Cooking are crammed with 200 authentic tasting recipes going way beyond the normal Korean restaurant fare to home cooking. Ingredients are in paragraph form, rather than a list, to leave more room for preparation and finished dish photos, and helpful hints. | |||||
