Author Talk: Comic Strips and Kimchi: Cooking Korean Food Made Easy with Robin Ha

Cooking authentic Korean food at home doesn't have to be intimidating or complicated—in fact, it can be as fun and engaging as reading your favorite graphic novel! Join us for a virtual conversation with artist and author Robin Ha as we explore her New York Times bestselling book, Cook Korean!: A Comic Book Cookbook. Fun to look at and easy to use, this unique combination of cookbook and graphic novel is the ideal introduction to cooking Korean cuisine at home. Robin Ha’s colorful and humorous one-to three-page comics fully illustrate the steps and ingredients needed to bring more than sixty traditional (and some not-so-traditional) dishes to life. In these playful but exact recipes, you’ll learn how to create everything from easy kimchi (mak kimchi) and soy garlic beef over rice (bulgogi dupbap) to seaweed rice rolls (gimbap) and beyond. Friendly and inviting, Cook Korean! is perfect for beginners and seasoned cooks alike. Each chapter includes personal anecdotes and cultural insights from Ha, providing an intimate entry point for those looking to try their hand at this cuisine.
