Koreatown by Deuki Hong and Matt Rodbard is a survey Korean American cooking with recipes and stories gathered from around the country. As such, it is an introduction to both Korean American food and Korean American culture with a lot to explore. Overall, the book is interesting but, because of its layout and organization, a little difficult to navigate. Perhaps like Koreatown itself for a novice?

"This is not your average soft-focus "journey to Asia" kind of cookbook. Koreatown is a spicy, funky, flavor-packed love affair with the grit and charm of Korean cooking in America. Koreatowns around the country are synonymous with mealtime feasts and late-night chef hangouts, and Deuki Hong and Matt Rodbard show us why with stories, interviews, and over 100 delicious, super-approachable recipes. It's spicy, it's fermenty, it's sweet and savory and loaded with umami: Korean cuisine is poised to break out in the U.S., but until now, Korean cookbooks have been focused on taking readers to an idealized Korean fantasyland. Koreatown, though, is all about what's real and happening right here: the foods of Korean American communities all over our country, from L.A. to New York City, from Atlanta to Chicago. We follow Rodbard and Hong through those communities with stories and recipes for everything from beloved Korean barbecue favorites like bulgogi and kalbi to the lesser-known but deeply satisfying stews, soups, noodles, salads, drinks, and the many kimchis of the Korean American table"--Amazon.com.

There are many comments from chefs, celebrities, and other Korean food enthusiasts. They are funny, educational, and enlightening.
I could tell you about all the recipes I found that I am planning on making but I'm not. When you read this you'll find your favorites an some new ones to try. I found this to be a great source book for some new idea even beyond the recipes here. It goes on my shel as one of my three top Korean recipe books ( )
