lastblossom 's review for:
A Very Asian Guide to Korean Food
by Michelle Li
informative
fast-paced
Thanks to NetGalley and Gloo books for a review copy.
tl;dr
A fun book for kids with bright illustrations and easy-to-understand descriptions that works as a great introduction to Korean food.
Thoughts
This is a fun book! It covers some of Korea's most popular dishes, with names, pronunciation guides (very handy), brightly colored illustrations, and a brief description of what's actually in it. The book is geared towards young readers, but works as a nice quickstart guide for older readers looking to learn the name of that one tasty-looking food you saw in that k-drama. A recipe for mandu in the back is a nice addition, for anyone who wants to try their hand at cooking Korean food at home. I think my only complaint is that I'd love to see more.
