Dear, My Korean Kitchen Readers,
I’ve had this blog nearly 3 months now. Thanks to ZenKimchi and The Journal of a Girl who Loves To Cook I had a lot of visitors lately. Thank you both of you.
I really appreciate some of you who like my blog, visit regularly, and interact with me by leaving me some comments even if my writing isn’t humorous or as useful to you as it could be.
Before I get to the point, I apologize in advance that my writing can be very blunt or can be rude, due to my English barrier or my personality I got from the garlic and chili food culture. (like Italians, Mexicans etc) 
Recently, I have found some difficulty in answering people who started to request from me certain recipes I haven’t posted yet, or comparing my recipes to someone else’s then asking many questions about why they are different.
I would like to answer properly everything you ask though this is Not a company owned website nor am I a super girl who can do everything. It usually takes me about 2-3 hours just to write one post and choose the pictures to upload for that post. Also, when I cook, it takes another 1-3 hours depending on the food, because I am taking pictures on the way, which is the specialty of My Korean kitchen. So I often spend 5-6 hours (sometimes more) on a post.
Cooking, writing, and photographing for this blog is a full time job for me. I don’t have much time to translate other recipes or research and answer why the certain recipes are different for you. A lot of the meals I cook are experiments. I encourage you to add, or change ingredients if you want. Experiment and have fun with your cooking, if it tastes good, go with it.
I am leaving Korea, possibly permanently, in three months. So the priority of the recipes I cook while in Korea are :
- Food that has ingredients I can’t get easily outside of Korea (i.e. Korean ingredients).
- Recipes that most people want to see.
- Food that isn’t too expensive (within our household budget)
- Food I like (If I don’t eat it, what’s the use of cooking it?)
Once I leave Korea, the recipes might be even more useful for you since most of my readers are from outside of Korea. As you can guess, I will need to start from scratch. I will need to find sources of ingredients and might have to make some ingredients myself to cook certain food.
There is a reason for not posting certain recipes right now, like rice cake or noodle dough etc. When the time comes, you will get to see what you want. So, please be patient with me. Of course you are still welcome to ask for certain foods or meals. I make a note of your suggestions and will make it in the future if I can.
Here are some links I think are good English recipe resources. If I don’t have the recipe you want yet, try these websites.
