I like all of the cookery books I have purchased in this series and this is as good as all the others. There are not a lot of recipes, 60 or so, but the ones included give a pretty good overview of Korean cuisine. Some of the recipes are a little tricky to execute - such as the rolled omelet, for instance - but beginners should like the book as the illustrations are excellent and not only show the finished dish but some of the procedural steps involved. The layout could have been a bit better organized (perhaps by printing on a greater number of pages) but the book is great otherwise.

While I was in College friends introduced me to Korean food, and I have been hooked ever since. As a non-Asian, I had never been exposed to this type of food growing up and knew little about the ingredients. This books is great! It gives clear color pictures (instead of b/w drawings) of the individual ingredients needed, concise measurements and step-by-step directions. I have been able to locate all needed ingredients at my local asian food store and have been much surprised that things have actually worked out and tasted good. I highly recommend this book for the beginner!!
