Beginning with an exploration of Nature's influence on Korean cuisine, followed by its six characteristics, the book turns first to a description of the ingredients and basic techniques of Korean cooking. The recipes themselves are selected based upon their popularity among non-Koreans as well as natives, their ease of preparation, and the accessibility of the ingredients used. With almost 350 colour photos, the book is richly illustrated and follows a simple step-by-step approach that guarantees success every time.
