Food is a universal experience that involves each of us every day. One of the best ways to learn about another culture is through their food. Cooking is a wonderful expression of generational traditions, the geography that supports unique, local ingredients, and a delightful amalgam of overlapping cultures integrated through time and events.

IN THIS ISSUE, we're on a culinary adventure to Korea. Its cuisine is one of the "it" trends in food these days. We're bringing the flavors that we've been enjoying at Korean restaurants home to our kitchen with Barbecued Beef Ribs (galbi), Vegetable Mixed Noodles (yachae gooksu), and Sautéed Eggplant (gaji namool).
