I went to a restaurant once in Jeonju that supposedly served authentic North Korean cuisine. I had nangmyun, but never having been to North Korea, I obviously am not sure how close to the real thing it was. It was delicious though. Mmmm. . .That looks so good.

I stumbled across your website as I was searching for a good website with Korean recipes. How surprised (and pleased) I was to find this site! I am living in Korea and engaged to a Korean man. So far I have been relying on a couple of terrible recipe books, my fiance's mother and common sense to throw together some Korean dishes. So far the other half really loves what I cook, but this site allows me to add variety to what we eat. I think it's about time that a really practical website (and recipe book) about Korean food became available. I have put a link to your website on mine, but if you want I will take it off. If you want me to take it off just leave a message on my website. Also...who is taking the photographs? They are fantastic! Thank you and happy blogging! Louise Hi there!

Korean food and S. Korean food aren't very different at all. Both North and South eat the same dishes, except in the North, they are short on food. Of course, they feed visitors (ie: foreigners) very well, but I know for a fact that people there are starving. Two family friends are actually doing a project involving China and Russia to grow food on their land in order to provide more food for North Korea. Also, I have to admit that N. Korean food consists of largely traditional dishes, while in S. Korea there are traditional Korean dishes, as well as Chinese, Japanese, Western, etc... dishes. Actually, N. Korean food and S.
