Maangchi's cookbooks


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!
Want to get my monthly letter?
My monthly letter to my readers includes my recipe roundup, funny and touching stories, and photos of what you guys are cooking! It's delivered the first day of every month

Maangchi: I was just reading your old blog posts when I found this. Do you think it might be possible that one day you make a little PDF or video that explains all about the composition of each meal in a Korean home (breakfast, lunch, dinner) and maybe a little explanation on how to plan the food for one whole week? Unless I am visiting friends I am only eating Korean for dinner now so it would be helpful for me to learn how to do a balanced week of dishes. Thanks :)
Yes, it’s very possible! Actually it’s a great idea! Let me think about adding it to my website. Thank you!
Yay! I can’t wait :) Thank you.
i wish you were teaching cooking classes near me! OOOOORRRRRR maybe i could expense a trip to NYC for education purposes….hmmmm. i’ll have to work on that.
i agree with suz that your website makes it look very easy. i’m always asking my mom how to make something and its always a little of this, some of that, etc. she is always willing to help but sometimes its hard to get a straight answer. each batch of kimchee is different!!
thank you maangchi…for your time, your enthusiasm, and most of all for sharing all your knowledge.
Thank you very much!
Learning through my videos is not enough? : )
When I plan my next cooking class, I will announce it through my blog and cooking class page.
Maangchi,
I am so glad that you are going to be offering cooking classes. For a long time, my wife has asked me if I’d like cooking classes as a gift. I’ve looked into many, but nothing piqued my interest until I saw your website and Youtube videos.
I’ve only recently fallen in love with Korean food, though I’ve found myself eating it every week lately. I have kimchee with gim and rice for lunch often (away from everyone else, of course, lol).
It’s to the point that a Seoul born Korean-American coworker and good friend laughs that I eat more Korean food than his own sons.
Anyway, I’m looking forward to making one of your classes, possibly next Saturday. If not, then a future one.
Hope to see you soon!!
You make me laugh!
“It’s to the point that a Seoul born Korean-American coworker and good friend laughs that I eat more Korean food than his own sons.”
Thank you for your interest in my class and hopefully you can make it!
I just found your podcasts yesterday. I will be in NYC the weekend of the 16 – 19… too bad it doesn’t overlap with your cooking class. I need to learn how to cook!
Thank you for the videos. I always ask my mom how to make things but Koreans don’t ever have recipes… just “this much” or “just taste it” so I never knew how to cook anything. You make everything so easy– I’m sure I can cook anything!
Yeah, next time, then.. Through my videos, you could learn how to make good Korean dishes. Thank you for your interest in my cooking class!
I love the new website, it’s so professional!
The tabs are easy to use and I really like how the ingredients are listed, very useful.
I’m glad to hear that! I feel my website is better organized now.
I love your new layout! The banner with you and the fish is sooo cute and funny =)) The knife is kind of intimidating thou hehehe
I wish you the best with your classes!
haha, thank you!
It’s a shame I can’t enroll in your class too! It sounds so perfect! I’d love a MC (Maangchi Certificate)!
I wish you the best of luck. I’m sure your class is going to be a hit and soon you’ll have your own Food Network show!
Have fun!
Thank you very much for wishing me luck!
I’m going to be in New York this weekend–any chance you might decide to offer a class then?
oh, I wish I could offer a class for you. Please join the May 23rd class.
I want to go to the class but wouldn’t be able to make it on May 23rd. Maybe next time? I’d like to earn a Maangchi Certificate! Maybe if I enroll in culinary school in NY? I haven’t decided on that yet either!
haha, thank you for your interest in the certificate idea! If you can’t make it this time, next time! : )
Maangchi ssi, annyeong!
Oh it sounds absoulutely wonderfully perfect!! Wish so much I could attend. I’m so happy for you (and for us ^^) that you decided to take that step in sharing your recipes and where it has lead you. Komapta!
