No flavor =<
I made two recipes today , green onion pancakes and kimchi fried rice.
Both had hardly any flavor at all!
I was really disappointed because I love green onion pancakes.
Your seriously better off watching home-made videos on youtube of family members making
authentic korean food. The book is very well made and the pictures are amazing but the food
well..sucks.

A Lot of Wonderful Korean Dishes Found Here
As Cecilla Hae-Jin Lee says in her introduction, "The joy of cooking is sharing your results with your friends and family." That is so true and there are a lot of wonderful recipes in this book to share, plus a whole different kind of culinary experience to try if you're not familiar with Korean cooking.

I haven't tried very much Korean food, so I was eager to try out some of the recipes in this book. The book opens with a glossary of Korean ingredients, many of which I was familiar with and had on hand, but some which I was not. Most of what I didn't have I was able to get at my local supermarket, but I did have to make a trip to an Asian market to get some of the ingredients. I wanted them all, so that when I tried a recipe, I wouldn't be stymied because a lack of something essential.

For my first foray into Koren dining I wanted to try something I'd never heard of, something I'd never dream of eating, so I made the Korean Leek Pancakes and they were very good. And to my surprise finding the leeks, wasn't all that hard. I've also tried the Seasoned Fried Chicken, which was very good and I've tried the Seasoned Tofu. I have not yet summed up the courage to try the Sauteed Octopus or the Stir-Fried Spicy Dried Squid or any of the Kimchi recipes. The octopus and the squid, I'll probably never do, but I'm looking forward to trying Kimchi.

I'm glad I got this book. Cooking is fun for me and this book has made it more enjoyable.

My first steps into Korean Food
I don't eat Korean food, so I have no idea how the recipes in this book related to actual Korean food.I can say, however, that the recipes are all simple and to the point with short ingredient lists.This is a nicely bound and nicely formatted book, and overall a pleasure to read.

In the section on meats, the author discusses the fact that most people are introduced to Korean food through a Korean BBQ restaurant, and they are led to believe that the Korean diet is meat heavy.The recipes definitely stick to the perception of Korean food being a meat-heavy cuisine, despite the authors claim that meat is something for special occasions or to be used as a condiment.

One thing that springs immediately to mind when I think of Korea is kimchee.This has four different recipes for it, which is a good start for learning Kimchee I hope.

Overall I'm quite happy with this as my first foray into Korean food.

Very nice inroduction to Korean cooking ....
I really enjoyed this book. It's well put together, the recipes are simple and quick to prepare, the photography is beautiful, and the dishes are quite tasty.Is this the definitive authority on Korean cuisine?Probably not.But if you'd like to get your feet wet working with Korean flavors, this might be a good choice for you.

There's a nice variety of recipes here.The barbecued pork ribs are wonderful -- I served them with the green onion pancakes, also very tasty.I guess I'm lucky: I live in an area where there are a number of Asian markets, and most supermarkets have an excellent international foods section, so finding the ingredients for these dishes isn't an issue.You might find you need to substitute -- you won't get exactly the same flavors or results, but you'll probably come close enough.

I'm giving this five stars because it succeeds at its intended purpose: a well presented collection of simple recipes that allow a home cook to experience Korean foods without heading for a Korean restaurant.

Simple recipes
I like Korean cuisine and have wanted to make it at home.I've tried several recipes in this book with great results.The recipes are simple-- relatively few ingredients and easy to follow.This recipe book was exactly what I was looking for-- quick and simple recipes. ... Read more

Great Seller
Wonderful Korean Cookbook, great condition,quick delivery. I would make a purchase from this seller again. Thanks...

Disappointed
I was very disappointed with this book.It was a gift for a friend who is moving to Korea.And for $25 I expected more.The book is so thin!Not a good value at all.It was embarrassing giving it to her.

This book is awesome...and IS an adult cookbook
Easy-to-follow recipes.DELICIOUS and not "out-of-the-ordinary" ingredients (except the noodles for chap-chae).I just visit my local Oriental Foods Korean store and pick up the needed things.I find the recipes simple and not too time-consuming, either.I have tried many Korean cookbooks, and like this one THE BEST.(Actually, the Lerner cookbook series from other ethnicities are excellent, too.)

Try the Chap-chae, the bulgogi (or pulgogi) and the fish patties.Excellent! ... Read more

Great pictures, needs names for full authenticity
An abundance of wonderful pictures, but needs Korean names for the dishes!I think the publisher in Singapore was looking for a pan-Asian, English ex-pat audience, but we all know that those dishes need to be called by their real names.Still the book is a great resource and a good value.

Interesting Korean cookbook
I recently purchased this book and am quite pleased by it. I cook Korean food pretty regularly and wouldn't have thought I needed another Korean cookbook (I already had four or five), but this one caught my eye.

It's beautifully illustrated (800 color photographs), but is not meant just as a coffee table book.A lot of those photographs are used to show recipes steps--most recipes has 4 photos showing cooking steps plus a photograph showing the finished dish. It also has some nice introductory chapters on Korea, Korean cuisine, and Korean ingredients & cooking techniques.

What sold me on this book was that it had some relatively unusual (but authentic & classic) dishes that don't show up in my other Korean cookbooks. I don't need another bugolgi, jap chae, or bibimap recipe... But guchujang chicken stew (which I made last night & was delicious!), kimchi fritters, and po jang ma cha street noodles are welcome addition to my cooking repertoire.

A couple of criticism, those street noodles aside, most recipes do not include their Korean name--so there's a recipe for "spinach and clam soup," but until I did a google search, I had no idea that it was called "sigumchiguk" in Korean.

Another issue is that while the recipes seem clear & well presented, they're probably best suited for cooks who are able to read between the lines. For example, that guchujang chicken I made last night called for 1 3/4 lbs. chicken, 3 potatoes, & 2 onions. Depending on the size of the potatoes and onions, the recipe could vary quite greatly. I ended up using only 2 potatoes and 1 onion, which seemed about right. Folks who aren't comfortable going off recipe, might be a little bit stressed by the book.Incidentally, all the ingredients are given both in metric & imperial units--which I find a little distracting, but does make the book easy-to-use for Americans as well as the rest of the world.

Overall, I'm quite please with the book, think the recipes look great, & plan to cook from it a lot. If I were able, I would probably give this 4 1/2 stars instead of 5. But since I'm not I'm rounding up (especially since the other two reviews seem unfair--one person gave 1 star because he had purchased the book under a different name and was mad that he accidentally purchased it a second time, and the other person gave it 3 stars but hadn't tried any of the recipes (the review only talked about how beautiful the photos are).

I would definitely recommend this book for anyone wanting to dive deeper into Korean food--but it might not be the best first Korean book to purchase. For simpler recipes I would recommend "Eating Korean."

Warning! This is a reprint.
This book is a reprint of a prior book by the same author that is identical in content to "The Food and Cooking of Korea" except for a different title, title page, front cover, back cover and jacket. "The Food and Cooking of Korea" was printed in China by Hermes House & the subject book was printed in Singapore by Lorenz Books.

lots of really beautiful full color photos throughout
not sure about the recipes, haven't tried any. don't be put off by my laziness tho! ... Read more

On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on iron or steel parts of domestic non-electric cooking appliances and heaters in South Korea face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying iron or steel parts of domestic non-electric cooking appliances and heaters to South Korea? How important is South Korea compared to others in terms of the entire global and regional market? How much do the imports of iron or steel parts of domestic non-electric cooking appliances and heaters vary from one country of origin to another in South Korea? On the supply side, South Korea also exports iron or steel parts of domestic non-electric cooking appliances and heaters. Which countries receive the most exports from South Korea? How are these exports concentrated across buyers? What is the value of these exports and which countries are the largest buyers?

This report was created for strategic planners, international marketing executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for iron or steel parts of domestic non-electric cooking appliances and heaters in South Korea. With the globalization of this market, managers can no longer be contented with a local view. Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact. I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for iron or steel parts of domestic non-electric cooking appliances and heaters for those countries serving South Korea via exports, or supplying from South Korea via imports. It does so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models.

In what follows, Chapter 2 begins by summarizing where South Korea fits into the world market for imported and exported iron or steel parts of domestic non-electric cooking appliances and heaters. The total level of imports and exports on a worldwide basis, and those ... Read more

In what follows, Chapter 2 begins by summarizing where South Korea fits into the world market for imported and exported iron or steel domestic stoves, grates, and non-electric space heaters excluding kitchen appliances. The total level of imports and exports on a worldwide basis, and those for South Korea in particular, is estimated using a model which aggregates across over 150 key country markets and projects these to the current year. From there, each country represents a percent of the world market. This market is served from a number of competitive countries of origin. Based on both demand- and supply-side dynamics, market shares by country of origin are then calculated across each country market destination. These shares lead to a volume of import and export values for each country and are aggregated to regional and world totals. In doing so, we are able to obtain maximum likelihood estimates of both the value of each market and the share that South Korea is likely to receive this year. From these figures, rankings are calculated to allow managers to prioritize South Korea compared to other major country markets. In this way, all the figures provided in this report are forecasts that can be combined with internal information sources for strategic planning purposes. ... Read more
