This book has step by step pictures and the instructions are easy to follow. The best thing about this books is that the recipes are traditional. The spiral format printed on heavy paper also makes it great for wear and tear.

I really like this cookbook as a good start for beginners. It gives simple recipes for basic Korean dishes - even those that Korean moms usually say there is no recipe for..."you just put in a little bit of this and that." The pictures are very helpful and it provides an English equivalent for the Korean ingredients so you know what to shop for. I've referred to it several times and have always been happy with the outcome.

I own several korean cookbooks, and when I cook many recipes from those cookbooks, Some of the foods that I have made did not taste like an authentic korean foods that I had in korea, either from korean families or in korean restaurants. This book also does not contain very many recipes inside. But, I like this book is easy to use, because you can put it flat on the counter.

This is a good cook book for Non-Koreans or Koreans who would like to learn to cook Korean dishes. I found the receipes a bit on the weak side but was able to adjust easily with a pinch of this or a pinch of that. I recommend people do the same and experiment with it. The ingredients are easy to find because the author replaces a lot of the hard to find items with easier substitutes. I really like how the authors continued Mrs. Lee Wade's efforts to finish this cookbook.
