I really liked this book, even though some of the recipes are probably above my skill level, but I am still going to try.

I often find restaurant based cook books rather inaccessable to my kitchen - this one was different - I liked the use of kimchi

Of all the cuisines I haven't tried to cook, Korean food is high up on that list and I think that Good Fork really sparked my interest in trying some recipes and also gives a great list of Korean staples that I wasn't familiar with (and I hope that I can find in my area). It's a personal book that gives insight into Chef Kim as a person and as a chef. It's also not just limited to Korean food - there are several takes on cuisines that I'd be interested in cooking (hopefully it'll be a successful attempt!). The photos are lovely and mouthwatering! Some recipes seem a bit too intense for a short turnaround time, but it's okay because it's worth it!

I had no idea what to expect. An eclectic mix of recipes, many with Korean flavors adding interest to classic dishes. The last section is traditional Korean, and that was my favorite part-- it was like the writing came to life. I can't say I would try many recipes outside of that last section, but it's a nice survey cookbook if you're looking for straightforward with a twist.
