- Description
- Eric Kim's debut cookbook, Korean American, is a collection of recipes and essays exploring his Korean-American identity. Growing up as the son of Korean immigrants in Atlanta, food played a pivotal role in Kim’s life. The book features recipes from Korean barbecue to innovative Korean-American fusion dishes, alongside essays on subjects like leaving home and the significance of Thanksgiving to a first-generation family. Kim's aim is to give readers a deep understanding of Korean culinary culture and how it intertwines with his American upbringing, ultimately illustrating how through food and cooking, he found acceptance and the confidence to own his story.
