About
Not very long ago, I have started making my own Kimchi.
It is easy to assume that most Koreans know how to make their own kimchi at home somehow, but the reality is that many Koreans receive kimchi from their mother/grandmothers, and many young people do not feel the need to learn its complicated process.
I too enjoyed the luxury of my Mum's labour, even though I had my own family and child, and thought it would last forever.
But my reality changed rapidly after my mum passed away, and my daughter became ill.
Since we needed to change our diet completely, almost every food was cooked from scratch, including the condiments and sauces. I had to master not only kimchi, the staple in our Korean diet, but also many dishes like the bone broth that I had never dreamt I'd cook.
Now it has become my passion and joy to be around at the kitchen, preparing meals and experimenting on new flavours.
I hope you could find Korean cooking easy and simple too.
