Gorgeous looking photos of many unfamiliar dishes which is always a plus for a cookbook. I also love the fact that the recipes are in a larger font making it easier to read if you are trying to follow along while cooking. The only slight downside is that the book doesn't allay any anxiety about cooking Korean cuisine as the recipes look pretty authentic, e.g. intimidating. Still, I read over the recipes I was interested in and they seem pretty straightforward for the most part. However, I think I would prefer to buy my kimchi rather than make my own.

This entire series of books is excellent. Each recipe is explained with large, clear, colour photos, and is broken down into multiple steps. The photos are enough to make me start drooling and wishing I had some octopus in the freezer so I could make octopus kabobs :) I'd love to own the entire set of these books... so far, I've read the Korean and Thai editions.

After getting into Korean in Lansing, my wife got me this and Dok Suni, and I can't pick between them - sometimes I end up steering between the two for some recipes. Some lovely basics in this one, like a great bibimbop.
