Hey there! Welcome to my little corner of the internet – A Pinch of Korea! I started this blog after one too many late-night cravings for my mom’s kimchi jjigae while staring into an empty British fridge. Trust me, if you’ve ever been homesick for Korean food, I’ve been there too.
As a Korean living in the UK, I know firsthand the joys and challenges of recreating those beloved dishes with ingredients that aren’t always easy to find. But don’t worry—this blog is here to guide you, helping you craft authentic Korean meals with locally accessible ingredients.
For Koreans Abroad and Korean Food Enthusiasts
So who’s this blog for? Maybe you’re like me – a Korean missing the taste of home. Or maybe you stumbled across bibimbap at that new place downtown and thought, “Damn, I need to know how to make this myself!” Either way, you’re in the right place.
I’ll show you everything from how to make kimchi without stinking up your entire apartment (learned that one the hard way) to what actually pairs well with soju (hint: it’s not always what you’d expect).
Simple Recipes and Helpful Tips
I’ll be sharing simple, quick recipes and practical tips to inspire you to try something new or revisit old favourites. The goal is to make cooking fun and enjoyable. After all, food is about bringing people together—and I hope this blog will do just that, whether you’re cooking for yourself, family, or friends.
Let’s Get Cooking with A Pinch of Korea!
Look, cooking Korean food outside Korea doesn’t have to be perfect – my grandmother would probably roll her eyes at some of my shortcuts, but hey, we work with what we’ve got, right? So grab that apron (or don’t – I usually forget mine anyway), and let’s figure this out together. Your future bibimbap-loving self will thank you!
