"Su has written a beautiful account of how food can help rebuild
culture from treasured memories, how it conveys love and connection, and
how it can ground us when we feel untethered. The recipes are totally
tantalising - and thanks to Su's guidance, entirely achievable even for
novices." - Tim Anderson
"A book of belonging. Food as a love letter to family. Writing as
delicious as the recipes." - Allan Jenkins, Observer Food Monthly
Rice Table bap sang is a collection of 80 recipes showcasing modern,
Korean home cooking.
A Korean living in the UK, Su Scott was thrown into a crisis of identity
when motherhood dawned, one which she only found her way out of by
cooking the dishes of her Korean childhood, seeking out the flavors and
textures of memories that she hopes to pass on to her daughter.
Within this intimate cookbook, Su guides you through her modern Korean
pantry, explores the ferments, pickles, and sauces that lift Korean
dishes to delicious heights, and shares a comforting array of recipes,
from Korean Fried Chicken and Kimchi Fried Rice, to Spicy Seafood Noodle
Soup. Littered between enticing plates are tender stories of what it
means to be a woman, mother, and immigrant all at once and how food
connects all the pieces of our lives to make us whole.
This is a love letter from mother to daughter woven together by food.
It's a book about identity and immigration. It's about how the food you
feed your children builds a story about their heritage. But it's mainly
a book about wonderful food--the kind of food we all want to eat right
now.
