Here is my interview with April and some photos of Korean dishes that She made. Her interest in Korean food started when she started dating her husband. She said her husband always took her to a Korean restaurant and she fell in love with Korean food. Now she cooks Korean food for him! Her husband asks her to make kimchi and japchae whenever he brings his friends over. Happy cooking makes happy family!
