More About This Book

Overview

Part memoir and part cookbook, GROWING UP IN A KOREAN KITCHEN is one woman's cultural and culinary story, weaving childhood reminiscences with lovingly gathered recipes. With descriptions of the traditional Korean kitchen, preparations for special feast days, and the rituals of everyday family meals, author Hi Soo Shin Hepinstall draws an engaging portrait of a seldom glimpsed way of life. Easy-to-follow recipes, largely handed down through oral tradition, cover the wide range of main and side dishes, from the sumptuous elegance of "royal cuisine" to simpler countryside cooking. Korean cuisine has emerged as one of the most exciting and robust tastes of Asia, with great variety and some of the world's most sophisticated techniques for pickling and cooking with garlic and hot pepper. Cooks of all levels, as well as armchair travelers, will welcome this book to their collection.• Includes over 250 authentic recipes, a glossary, and a list of resources for finding uniquely Korean ingredients and utensils.• Illustrated with the author's travel and family photos, depicting the cultural and culinary traditions of Korea.For a list of markets that carry Korean ingredients visit www.koreanfeast.com

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
Although Korean food is poised to become the next favorite Asian cuisine, there are relatively few cookbooks on the subject. Hepinstall's book is both more ambitious than Jenny Kwak's Dok Suni (LJ 11/15/98) and more wide-ranging than Deborah Coultrip-Davis and Young Sook Ramsey's vegetarian Flavors of Korea (LJ 9/15/98). One of 12 children, she provides a personal glimpse of a disappearing way of life as well as a detailed introduction to traditional Korean cuisine (she even includes her family's recipe for soy sauce). American readers may recognize some of the dishes from Korean restaurants, but many will be new. The section on main dishes covers rice and cereals, soups and porridges, and noodles and dumplings, with a whole chapter devoted to kimchi, a signature dish; in addition to side dishes, desserts, and beverages, there are separate chapters on Korean barbecue and special-occasion recipes. Hepinstall writes well and knowledgeably, and her photographs of family and her visits to her homeland illustrate the text. Strongly recommended. Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.

    Excellent Korean Cookbook

    In the past I've received many cookbooks, but they were all in Korean. It took me years to find a cookbook in English that produced delicious dishes. This is it! The dishes seem labor intensive, but the creation suits my palette and is worth every extra minute that went into making it. I also tweak the recipes as well with flavors I enjoy more. As long as you have the core ingredients in it, you can experiment to make it your own. Being Korean, I didn't find the recipes to be inauthentic, but we all grew up in different surroundings. Anyways, I highly recommend this book!

    Great Book

    Having married a Korean, I found this book very helpful. It contains many of the everyday dishes Koreans eat instead of only the fancy meat dishes, and even contains recipes for soy sauce and red pepper paste. My husband has really enjoyed many of the recipes I've made from this book.

    Not very authentic

    I am a Korean-American looking for a cookbook to help me recreate some of the foods I've grown up eating. Although her cookbook is quite extensive, ranging from Korean barbeque to desserts, Hepinstall's recipes are not as authentically Korean as I had hoped they would be, catering more toward the asian fusion crowd. In addition, the book is quite intimidating, not fully in color, and lacking illustrations to help guide you along.
