I’m a lover of food (making it, eating it, sharing it), daughter of Korean immigrants, a wife and mother of two sons, who grew up in Southern California and literally married the boy next door. 

At a young age, I realized the impact that delicious, home-cooked food has. Growing up with two immigrant parents, I watched my mom and dad work hard every day and yet always came home to make a beautiful meal for us to share as a family.

When I was young, I brought a plate of piping hot Korean-Style Beef I had made to the table. The expression of comfort, happiness and utter satisfaction on my father’s face made a lasting impression on me that I’ll never forget.
