The Korean of the Morning: Classic Recipes from the Land of the Morning Calm (Paperback) Review

Okay, since so many have been so critical.I felt that I had to write.This is the largest and most complete Korean cookbook written in English so far.There are other cookbooks, with pictures in English but they usually only cover a few recipes.This one covers a lot.I was quite surprised.When I looked at some of the recipes, I originally thought that it was too simple or that it was lacking.But as many Native Koreans realize there is a lot of minor variations in the ingredients that people use anyway.I tried many of the recipes in the book and found them to be quite good and pretty authentic.In Korean cooking, you have to taste as you go along.This book has a good underlying taste that it is trying to create.Overall, this is a stable cookbook for those Korean Americans who want to have a ready resource to help one get started on learning to cook.(Without asking your mom =)Remember, if you really want it to turn out right, ask someone Korean and whose cooking you like, what ingredients they used and in what proportion since everyone improvises a little or adds things that make it right for their taste, usually adding more sugar, salt, garlic, and or vinegar.Good luck!
