Our Seattle meetup! Thank you all for a lovely afternoon.

Hi everybody!

On September 26, I spent a lovely afternoon with my readers in Seattle. It was wonderful to meet you in person, hear your Korean cooking stories, and take photos together!

I wanted to share a few photos here and keep a little memory of our time together on my website.

Meeting the people who cook with my recipes means so much to me. Thank you for sharing a little of your lives with me!

White Cook with Maangchi souvenir mug
Yay! “Cook with Maangchi!” I prepared this for everyone.

I also brought a plain white shirt and asked you to sign it or draw something on it. Look at it now, covered in your colorful messages and drawings! Thank you for making such a special keepsake for me.

Thank you for spending part of your Saturday with me and sharing your love of Korean food. I hope these photos bring back happy memories for those who came. If you couldn’t join us this time, I hope we’ll have a chance to meet another time!

Happy cooking!

Maangchi
