I love cooking, but many of the advanced recipes here are above my pay grade. I’m not about to prep a lobster, hand pull noodles, deep fry dakgangjeong, nor fashion a croissant. Since someone in my family suffers from celiac, that eliminates the bread section and quite a few sweets. Nevertheless, I still found a lot of great suggestions and dishes that I plan to try.

A lovely book with great pictures, I found just perusing it great fun. If you are seriously interested in preparing food this would be a great book to own.

Good, but most recipes were a little too involved with hard to find ingredients to make this a cookbook I would use often.
