The Kimchi Book is an essential guide to kimchi that follows the rhythm of the four seasons, explaining not just how to make kimchi, but why each ingredient shines in its moment and why fermentation takes the time it does.
Written in both Korean and English, this bilingual edition allows readers worldwide to easily explore the full range of Korean kimchi techniques and philosophy. More than a recipe book, it captures the soul of kimchi, its seasonality, fermentation, and deep roots in Korean food culture, making it the perfect introduction for anyone passionate about K-food.
Author Ko Eun-jung has devoted over 30 years to teaching the art of Korean fermented foods near Jirisan, and even restored the fermentation garden at Cheong Wa Dae (the Blue House). Her approach always centers on seasonal cooking, home-cooked meals, and a kitchen that listens to nature.
Featuring 45 kimchi recipes from classics like baechu and baek kimchi to unexpected varieties using tomatoes, eggplant, and wild garlic, this book is a heartfelt, knowledgeable guide for anyone who wants to truly understand kimchi, and a fresh, meaningful gift for K-food lovers around the world.
