I love food. During my time in Korea, I have been collecting recipes and anecdotes about Korean food. I also have been working on survival techniques for westerners living in Korea.
In this journal are recipes for cooking Korean food in Korea or abroad and recipes for recreating western food with Korean ingredients.
But mostly, it's about enjoying life.

Dang it! Missed Anthony Bourdain!
I heard that Anthony Bourdain, my hero, was planning to shoot an episode of "No Reservations" (Travel Channel) in Korea. He just posted that he has just returned from Korea. And I didn't get to meet him.
So sad.
But here is what he wrote:
Okay, proud Koreans:I just got back from shooting an episode there. I had a fantastic time, developed a deep and abiding love for kimchee, Korean street food and your kooky-krazy party-all-the-time attitude. It was--however, truly dismaying to find out that just about ANY 98 pound Korean girl can drink me under the table. That soju packs a punch! And next year's "clip show" of outttakes will have some priceless moments: The entire crew--swacked on soju and beer, singing "Anarchy In The UK" in a karaoke room. I will, of course, make sure that my own atonal contributions will be skillfully edited out.
The ZenKimchi 식 Ruffians is a group dedicated to finding the sublime meal in Korea. "식" (Sik) is the Korean word for "cuisine." "Ruffians" is the term used for fans and followers of Anthony Bourdain's philosophy of experiencing the most a culture has to offer through its food.
