Flavours of Korea is written for both the practical cook and the armchair cook. Illustrated with Kim Millon's superb photographs and line drawings, it tells not only of the tastes but also of the sights, sounds and traditions of town and country. About 150 easy-to-follow recipes teach the home cook the secrets of a hitherto little known cuisine. There are recipes for classics such as pajon (scallion pancake), bulgogi (soy-and-sesame marinaded beef), chapchae (a delicious noodle and vegetable medley), pimbimpap (a one-dish mixture of rice and any assortment of cultivated and wild vegetables and roots), and of course kim chi in all its fiery manifestations.

Not Authentic,
By A Customer
This review is from: Flavours of Korea: With Stories and Recipes from a Korean Grandmother's Kitchen (Paperback)
This book is interesting in that Marc writes about his Korean grandmother who immigrated to Hawaii and created adaptations of Korean cooking. For instance there are recipes for Korean pancakes that closely resemble the American kind that you with Aunt Jemima Syrup on them. Some of the dishes are close but they are more or less adaptations or interpretations of Korean cooking. They are not dishes the way Korean nationals would cook them. Being Korean and after eating Korean food for 35 years; I found some of the dishes unrecognizable.The stories are interesting though and the text is well written.

great book for beginners to korean cooking,
By A Customer
This review is from: Flavours of Korea: With Stories and Recipes from a Korean Grandmother's Kitchen (Paperback)
I was given this book by one of my Korean friends after I expressed an interest in learning how to cook Korean food. The recipies are easy to follow for those not familiar with the ingredients and processes of cooking Korean. I also enjoyed the stories that the author included about his grandmother and his travels to Korea. I have recommended this book to friends who want to learn about Korean food.

Interesting cookbook but not authentic,
By A Customer
This review is from: Flavours of Korea: With Stories and Recipes from a Korean Grandmother's Kitchen (Paperback)
Marc Millon writes wonderful stories about Korean and his grandmother's kitchen, but several of the recipes were not very authentic-but more or less adaptations or interpretations of authentic Korean cuisine.
