Within Part I, is a brief history of Kimchi dating back to the first written record of kimchi appearing in the middle of the Goryeo dynasty (935-1392) to sciences proving kimchi a wholesome food, this book presents the core facts.
Pickling/Salting, and the making of Kimchi are presented in very clear steps with full color photos in just five pages! A dozen pages are dedicated to the ingredients for all listed types of Kimchi. The descriptions are accompanied with photos of the ingredients. Similar descriptions and photos are included for the section on Kimchi making utensils.
Within Part II, is a description, list of ingredients, helpful tips, and directions for making all the Kimchi varieties listed above in the Part II – Traditional Kimchi list. The directions are very clear and I found the ‘Tips’ section very helpful! Each recipe includes a full-page full color photo of the finished Kimchi dish and they truly are some of the most beautiful mouth-watering images of Kimchi I’ve ever seen.
Part III – Fusion Kimchi presents twenty recipes calling for non-traditional veggies including carrots, rucola, celery, asparagus, endive, cauliflower, pimento, and so much more. Until I came across these fascinating recipes, I had never had such fermented, kimchi style dishes. Just as the traditional recipes, these fusion varieties are presented with clear lists of ingredients, directions, and tips. To date I haven’t had time to prepare them all but the endive and pimento recipes were heavenly!
Whether a beginner or experienced in the preparation of kimchi, this book is a precious addition to your Korean cuisine library. Of particular interest to the most experienced may be the ‘Fusion Kimchi’ section and the rest a great resource to the newest novice. Highly recommended!
