A delightful cookbook by Joanne Lee Molinaro, the online sensation @thekoreanvegan. Her debut cookbook features a compelling storytelling of her family's history and favorite Korean dishes, both traditional and reimagined. Despite the misconception that Korean cooking revolves around fish sauce and barbecue, she proves it to be fully plant-based, exceptionally flavorful, and totally Korean. It's a beautiful portrait of the immigrant experience with lessons that are universal. The Korean Vegan Cookbook celebrates how deeply food and our loved ones shape our identity.

Danny Licht - 2021-01-29

An ode to cooking with what we have, this literary nonfiction work by Danny Licht turns away from strict measurements and towards the sights, smells, and imaginations of our own pantries and fridges. With lyrical recipes that read like a personal kitchen journal written just for you, this book feels like a familiar classic that reminds us of the pleasure and importance of living in the moment. Follow the rhythm of Licht's recipes, and it will become your daily beat.
