Since then I have cooked as many recipes from here as I can fit in! My whole family is now eating Korean whether they want to or not because I always have so many left overs.</p> <p>I live in Wellington (the capital of New Zealand) and have been a foodie in general for some time (with my interest being mostly French and modern British cuisine). Korean food is the first food I have cooked that I feel truly satisfied with my efforts.</p> <p>I run a website (listverse.com) and work from home. I have a cat (Dexter), dog (Bruno), two finches (Ugolino and Hildegard), and lots of fish (mostly unnamed).</p> <p>I love to spend all day preparing and cooking - my most recent Korean BBQ took me from 10 in the morning until 8 at night - I made 7 side dishes and pork belly BBQ. I loved every minute of it. I have bought the complete series of the Grand Chef and am now watching a few episodes a night. It is the first Korean Drama I have seen and it is well worth the watch if you haven't seen it.</p> <p>I hope to cook every recipe here.</p> <p>If you want to see some of my Korean cooking photos you can find them on <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jfrater/sets/72157625803106143/detail/">Flickr here</a>. Some of my non-Korean food photos are <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jfrater/sets/72157625686633185/">here</a>. </p>
