My recipes represent who I am. While I focus on Korean recipes, I have much more than just Korean here as I love all cuisines, including Indian, Mediterranean, Italian, Japanese, Ethiopian, Chinese, and more! They have changed and have (hopefully) improved over the years just as I have. However, I have tried to keep two factors constant throughout this evolution: taste and simplicity. Every recipe I create or adopt as my own must be delicious (to me), and relatively easy to make. I hope you will find my recipes to be just that. Please try them, personalize them, and let me know how you liked them!
