If you're an Instant Pot lover, we suggest the " Instant Pot Bible." It includes a wide variety of recipes that work for all versions of the cooker. The 75th edition contains over 4,000 recipes: both the traditional ones found in older editions as well updated recipes, all of which are very detailed. The generational classic " The Joy of Cooking" claims our top spot. Recipes: 90 | Pages: 352 | Date Published: 2020 Kim also illuminates the significance of Korean cooking concepts like jung sung, which means both “care” and “devotion”-an idea he puts into practice in this cookbook, fleshing out its 90 recipes with thorough breakdowns of each ingredient, as well as beautiful photos of the food and Korea itself. These ingredients, when combined with his modern spin, boost classic dishes like Dolsot Bibimbap and give birth to new ones like a bacon chorizo kimchi paella. He begins, for example, by acquainting readers with the “holy trinity” of Korean cooking: doenjang, ganjang, and gochujang (fermented soybean paste, soy sauce, and fermented red chili paste, respectively). Kim’s focus here is to pay homage to the Korean culinary traditions and techniques that have influenced his take on the cuisine. But it’s not only his background working in Japanese and French kitchens that inform this cookbook.

Yes, it’s a contemporary take on traditional Korean cooking that earned his New York City-based restaurant Danji the award.

"My Korea" by Michelin-star chef Hooni Kim is more than just a cookbook.
