Introducing BOP! A collection of 36 Korean recipes expressed through the beautiful illustrations of Borakong and the culinary expertise of film director Jo Yeonjin, who naturally acquired a deep appreciation for Korean cuisine during her ten years of studying in the United States. Also presented by author Park Suhyun, shares the precious stories of Korean food, especially the significance of BOP, with friends.
In Korean culture, BOP is more than just food; it is a form of greeting, a promise, and an expression of love. BOP was created to share this love with Korean food enthusiasts and is written in English for an international audience. The language used is simple, making it easy for non-native English speakers to understand. The recipes are accompanied by illustrations to aid comprehension, and each cooking process is captured in short videos of about 1 minute and 30 seconds, which can be viewed alongside the book.
This book deviates slightly from traditional Korean cooking methods. So ingredients that are hard to find outside Korea are omitted, and Some cooking processes have been adapted to use quick stir-frying methods instead of boiling. The names of Korean ingredients are written using Romanization, but familiar Korean terms like doenjang, gochujang, and kimchi are used as they are. To make reading easier, the first letter of each syllable is capitalized. The first chapter features dishes that can be fully enjoyed even when eaten alone, the second chapter presents everyday foods that provide energy, the third chapter includes dishes that are perfect for hosting guests, and the final chapter showcases meals made using convenience foods.
BOP! is a unique book designed to transform Korean food lovers into skilled Korean chefs.
