Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: really great intro to Korean cooking Comment: That person who said something about the recipes being too fancy in this book must be crazy. I'm American, and I've never cooked Korean food before, but I've been cooking like mad from this book over the past few days, and it's been anything but fancy. In fact, I'd say it's very home-style. If you're looking to learn the basics, this is a great book to try out. I've made the cabbage kimchi and the radish kimchi, both amazing. I made this awesome raw tofu dish, with a vibrant but ever-so-easy-to-prepare soy/sesame topping that was so good, I can't wait to make it again. And I made these super-simple and remarkably tasty spinach and shiitake mushroom side dishes. They're so good, just serve them with some hot white rice, and that can be your dinner. I even took inspiration from the seafood glaze recipe and used it on shrimp. I marinated the shrimp for a few hours, then cooked it in my grill pan, and I served it with those kimchis, some bean paste I'd bought, raw garlic, ginger, and scallions, and lettuce leaves for wrapping. It might just have been the best grilled Korean food I've ever had in my life, and I've tried this kind of thing a lot in NYC restaurants. This book is highly recommended. Customer Rating: Summary: A definite buy Comment: I've been borrowing many korean recipe books from the library and this one is a definite one to buy. I think the intro and pictures are useful. The only negative thing I have to say is that the amount of ingredients are not exact, I guess it can vary based on taste/personal liking. I think this recipe book will be useful to have on hand; I've already made 3 dishes from it. Customer Rating: Summary: Beautiful book, but not enough to recommend to others! Comment: This book is a beautiful book, but the recipes in this book seem too fancy. I wish that this book had more of the basic foods that I had while growing up in korea. If you like more fancier food, I guess you might like this book. More Reviews
