Reviews
"When social distancing is a thing of the past and I don’t have to check what tier I’m in, I’d like to host a gimjang – a traditional Korean kimchi making event. Making chef Hooni Kim’s napa cabbage kimchi on my own was almost meditative – carefully massaging the cabbage leaves with his gochugaru (Korean red chilli flakes) marinade – but would have been even better with friends and a few of his Korean pear cocktails. This is food to share – braised beef shins slowly cooked with garlic and ginger and dashi or warm tofu with kimchi and pork belly stir-fry – and Kim, chef behind the first Michelin-starred Korean restaurant in the world, is the perfect guide." — The Cookbooks of 2020 You Need, The Independent
"It’s easy to fall in love the second you hit the condiments page, and that’s before you even get to his [Hooni Kim's] recipes for spicy raw blue crabs, spicy braised chicken, soy-poached black cod with daikon and bibimbap with beef tartare. This is some seriously exciting food." — Our Top 3 Not To Be Missed..., Glasgow Evening Times
