Can anyone recommend a good Korean food cookbook?

Question

I'm especially interested in Korean BBQ - yum! Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

I have this Korean cookbook, Discovering Korean Cuisine: Recipes from the Best Korean Restaurants in Los Angeles.

I've tried four different recipes and they are just great! It also includes Korean BBQ.

Anyway, if you are interested, go to Amazon.com and check if you like this cookbook:http://www.amazon.com/Discovering-Korean...

By the way, before I bought the cookbook, I almost bought Growing Up In a Korean Kitchen because I read that this book has a great information of how Korean people eat their food.

Well, I have several cookbooks that are traslated into English but every time I get the kind of cookbook, the spices and ingredients are hard to get. So I thought Growing Up In a Korean Kitchen cookbook might be the same so I didn't buy the book as my first Korean cookbook. But that doesn't mean that the cookbook is horrible. I actually think that it's a great book to learn about Korean cuisine.

Answer 2

The Best Asian Cookbook by Charmain Solomon.

It features about 14 Asian countries, beautifully illustrated.

I have had mine 20 years and still remains #1.

Answer 3

you can find good recipes all over the web,

or better yet - just ask a korean cook (:

they'll know the best secrets,

and the best authentic recipes.

Answer 4

"Growing Up in a Korean Kitchen: A Cookbook" , is my favorite. But if you want more of a focus on BBQ you might enjoy   "Discovering Korean Cuisine: Recipes from the Best Korean Restaurants in Los Angeles"   it gives the restaurant recipes.  BBQ is not as popular in Korea as we assume, by the number of restaurants featuring it in the states.

Answer 5
