i LOVE THIS BOOK
First I want to say I am an old guy from Mississippi, we are famous in the south for fried chicken, BBQ, and obesity. I used to sport 250 lbs on a 5'10" frame and it was killing me. Doctors were not the answer, they are obese too and all they had for me was pills and potions, what I needed was a life style change. Being sick and tired of being sick and tired I decided to clean up my act. Folks food is what is killing us, really good, rich food loaded with sauces, gravy's and cheese everywhere. I chose to eat to live as apposed to living to eat my only rule is the food has to be good, if it ain't good it ain't worth cookin. What I like about this book: Maangchi is a Korean mom not a professional chef (although moms are professionals) professional chefs will have you going done all sorts of rabbit holes, moms don't have time for that, they have to get good food on the table for the people they love most in a timely manner. Moms know how to "get er done". I work so I don't have time to play around either I need healty food quick and easy for cheap and it's gotta be good. This book fits that bill. I have cooked soups, stews, sides, and love it all, I can control the spice to my preference (I like it spicy) I can control the sodium. Eat the kimchi and throw your probiotics away. Kimchi stew is delicious. Most of the recipes are low fat low calorie healthy foods. If you think you might like Korean food or know you like Korean food and want to try your hand cooking some in your home, let a Korean mom be your guide, she will show you how to do it cheap and easy. I don't get anything for this review, my opinion is not jaded with profit or gain, that's my story and I'm stickin to it.
