Barbara Tropp, author of The Modern Art of Chinese Cooking and China Moon Cookbook--
“Every once in a while, a landmark cookbook is published. This is one. It belongs on the shelf of every serious student of Asian cuisine.”

Nina Simonds, author of A Spoonful Ginger--
“Hi Soo Shin Hepinstall has written a masterpiece. GROWING UP IN A KOREAN KITCHEN is the most comprehensive Korean cookbook to date. Her stories are charming and informative and the recipes are tantalizing. The book is a glowing memorial to her mother and grandmother and a tribute to her Korean heritage. This book will be a classic.”

Grace Young, author of The Wisdom of the Chinese Kitchen--
“GROWING UP IN A KOREAN KITCHEN is a major contribution to the Asian culinary shelf. Here’s a rare treat: a beautifully written cookbook that reveals an intimate and fascinating portrait of a rich culture unknown to Americans. It went straight to my heart.”

Su-Mei Yu, author of Cracking the Coconut: Classic Thai Home Cooking--
“Memories of Hi Soo Shin Hepinstall’s childhood are lovingly recorded in GROWING UP IN A KOREAN KITCHEN. Reading her stories and recipes evokes a shared sense of nostalgia for my own family’s kitchen in Thailand. Kimchi is no longer just another Korean pickle but a celebration of Korea’s culinary arts and traditions.”
