Which to get? I suggest my second book, Maangchi's Big Book of Korean Cooking because it has the most recipes, but my first book has recipes for all the essential Korean pastes and sauces!

Hi, i had your book on preorder since last year when i saw it, unfortunately i live in Europe so i couldn’t get a signed copy. Still a very nice book i think it’s going to be one of my favourites!!
Enjoy cooking with my book! Happy cooking!
Dear Maangchi,
living in Europe I could not make it to the launch party, but Amazon has delivered yesterday your cookbook! I didn’t expect such a big book and it’s not just recipes. The introduction, if I may call it so, is quite extensive and really interesting. I am eager to continue reading it tonight. Congratulations on your work, I am happy and honoured to have a copy of your book.
Ciao from Italy
Andrea
Hi Andrea,
Yes, I wanted to make a big book full of recipes, photos, and info. You are an eager Korean cook and my longtime reader, and now that you have my book you can’t miss any of my recipes! Thanks for the kind words!
I received my copy of your cookbook on May 19th, as well as the copy I ordered for my mother-in-law. (I ordered it for one of her Mother’s Day presents.) Really, it is a wonderful book. Lots of lovely pictures. Since I’ve gotten the book, we’ve made the bibimbap (again), as well as the jjajangmyeon (for the 1st time). Both dishes were great. Thanks for all the hard work on your website, YouTube channel AND the cookbook. Really, really awesome.
Thank you for the compliment, the book was years of hard work from many people. You already started cooking from it, that’s great! I hope you get a lot of use out of the book over years and years.
I absolutely LOVE your new cookbook – it arrived yesterday!!! I watch & re-watch your UTUBE videos just about every day! You are such an inspiration to me! You are talented, cute, funny & just a joy to my day! Using all of your recipes I made an authentic Korean meal for my family of 8 people. My son & his girlfriend told me it was so authentic that I should open my own Korean restaurant – lol!!! My oldest son loves the stirfired anchovy banchan! I printed him the recipe & he’s made it for his own family – how awesome is that! My 2 year old granddaughter loves it! Thank you for all of your hard work in putting these videos and cookbook together – very much appreciated! Would love to meet you some day, Maangchi!
Hi Babyblue,
Sounds like you are an awesome Korean cook, and your family loves your food, that’s wonderful!
Yes, I’d like to meet you someday, too!
Maangchi씨 안녕하세요!
I wish we had been able to make it to your party! I have received your signature, but I’m still waiting for the book to come. I hope we can meet later this summer! We’ll be in Long Island in August!
As always, thank you for sharing your recipes with us!
Cheers!
Dave
Hi Dave,
I hope you got the book by now! Enjoy the recipes!
