Recipes, anecdotes, histories, and stories are all included in this colourful invitation to learn about Korea's food culture. What is the "five colour philosophy"? What are the rules of Korean table etiquette? How is kimchi made in each region? What can you find in traditional markets and contemporary restaurants? How is Bibimbap made? Are there North Korean specialties (yes!)? Do Koreans traditionally eat dessert (no!)?

The answers to these and many more questions are in this charmingly illustrated paperback book. From Korean meal composition, tableware and utensils, staples, condiments and sauces, to everyday dishes, famous Korean fermented foods, doughs and noodles, celebratory party dishes, pork and chicken vs seafood, temple food, and "lucky" foods, it's all here in a compact text enlivened by the colour illustrations.

The design is warm, easy-to-follow, and fun to read from beginning to end, so this is a book many will want to own or give to friends and family.
