Mashitta! A Collection of Simple South Korean Recipes by Cooking Penguin Four StarsThis book has recipes for the standard fare of Kimchi which "is the most popular dish of South Korea and is rightly so. This spicy, fermented vegetable side dish is present in almost every meal and encapsulates the essence of the South Korean taste. It combines almost all of the basic seasonings - red peppers, soy sauce, mustard, vinegar, ginger and wine."There are recipes for side dishes, main dishes & rice & soup dishes. There are clear measurements & preparation instructions included.It does require a lot of spices & seasonings that might not be readily available without access to an Asian grocery store. I've been fortunate to discover several places online that do sell them.The recipes pictured in the book that I'm eager to try are: Korean Fried Chicken, Doo Boo Joo-rim (braised tofu), Sigumchi namul (a side dish made with spinach flavored with soy sauce), & Hobak jeon or zucchini pancake.It's a well designed & helpful cookbook. I gave it four stars.I received a free kindle edition from Amazon & it was a pleasant surprise.www.168Publishing.com
