About My Korean Kitchen
My Korean Kitchen is a food blog that talks all about my love and passion for Korean food and Korean fusion food. It includes step by step pictorial instructions, cultural discussions, and product reviews.
My husband suggested that I start some kind of food blog back in March 2006. He often said he had some difficulty finding out about Korean food before he married me. (Back then, there weren’t many Korean food blogs or websites.) So, originally I aimed to help foreigners living in Korea to give them some tips on living and cooking there.
However, over time I learnt that most of my blog readers are actually from outside of Korea, who want to learn Korean cooking and its culture. So my focus has naturally shifted to give more relevant information to those people and share their pain when it’s too difficult to find the source of Korean cooking ingredients.
My Korean Kitchen has been listed by Saveur magazine as one of the 55 Great Global Food Blogs. Additionally, my work has been featured in various media outlets and publications, including NPR, The New York Times, Fitness Magazine, Today, The Huffington Post, ABC Radio (Australia), Lonely Planet, The Independent, Yahoo News, Serious Eats, The Kitchn, BuzzFeed, and many more.
I aspire for My Korean Kitchen to become the ultimate destination for all things related to Korean cooking.
About Sue
Hi, My name is Sue and I am the author / cook / photographer behind My Korean Kitchen.
Born and raised in South Korea, I spent my childhood and early adult years there before moving to Brisbane, Australia, after meeting my Australian husband.
Growing up, I was constantly surrounded by the delightful world of Korean cuisine, thanks to my mother’s exceptional culinary skills and her successful restaurant venture, which she passionately ran for nearly two decades.
Despite not having the opportunity to learn cooking directly under her guidance, I made it a point to absorb as much knowledge as possible by observing her techniques and practices in both the comfortable ambiance of our home kitchen and the bustling environment of her restaurant.
Although I haven’t undergone formal culinary training, my passion for delicious food and the joy of sharing my culinary adventures with family, friends, and my readers have always been at the heart of my cooking.
In the last ten years, I published two cookbooks.
- The Banchan Cookbook – This is an eCookbook dedicated for Korean side dish lovers.
- How to Enjoy Korean BBQ at Home – This is a free eBook dedicated to Korean BBQ lovers. To enhance accessibility, I republished it as an extensive blog post titled ‘Your Ultimate Guide to Authentic Korean BBQ at Home‘.
I hope you try these books to get more insight in Korean cooking!
