Just bought, with much excitement, a cookbook (actually, a pair of
cookbooks, I (2000) and II (2003)) "Vignette of Korean Cooking" from a
local Korean-Japanese grocery. Authored, to my interest, by a lady
from the local Cleveland Korean community


All right! Go Tribe!!


, published in glossy
full-color large format under the imprints "I-Com" and "Maeilwonsaek".
I'm not usually one for food pictures, mostly they look staged and
unnappetizing, but the huge photos in these books look real AND
delicious. Recipes are printed in both Korean and English. It passes
the first hurdle of the cookbook test, which is that there should be a
substantial section of delicious looking vegetable recipes. Also that
it should go on, and on, in panoramic detail.

Neither book's on Amazon yet, even in the used section, or on abebooks
or alibris. Makes me wonder what the distribution model is.


Thanks for the heads-up; I'll keep an eye out for it. I'm embarrassed to
say it, but I do not have a single Korean cookbook! Maybe these will be the
one.

Btw, krnntp, I'll be heading back to Tribe Country in August. Is there an
outstanding Korean restaurant in town that you would recommend? I know that
since I left in the mid-80's, we've had quite an upsurge in the Korean
population. I'd be surprised if there weren't a great Korean restaurant in
town.

Hey, maybe we could even have a Cleveland A.F.A. BBQ get-to-gether or
something! I don't think you and I are the only ones here.

How about a web based almost cook book?
Try http://www.skynews.co.kr/main.asp--- English Column--Try Korean dishes
The dishes I've looked at are pretty close to what my ex-wife and her one
sister who lived in America would use for ingredients.
