Deuki and Matt have delivered another incredible banger - part travel journal, part cookbook, and part love letter to modern Korean food. With Koreaworld, they build on what they did so successfully with Koreatown and expanded to tell stories of the entire Korean diaspora. I can't wait to immerse myself in the Koreaworld they've beautifully showcased and honored in this instant classic.

This tag team of Deuki Hong and Matt Rodbard are like Jordan and Pippen in their prime, opening the door for us into Korean cuisine that's beyond barbecue and Korean fried chicken. From the illist trends in street food to a deep dive into the banchan world, Koreaworld is a personal food tour from a chef and writer leading the way.

Koreaworld is more than a cookbook; it traces the remarkable journey of modern Korean cuisine from its roots in Korea's bustling cities to its vibrant evolution in the United States, creating a bridge that spans continents and time, uniting the rich heritage and a culture.

The wide range of modern Korean food is on display in this fascinating book that is as electric, sumptuous, and diverse as the cuisine it portrays.

If you've ever wanted to feel like a local, use Koreaworld as your guide. Deuki and Matt have curated something that pushes well past the utility of recipes. This is a showcase of Korean culture, as it exists. More so, it continues the conversation of what it means to be Korean today.

Koreaworld celebrates the diversity and creativity of Korean cooking, showcasing a kaleidoscope of flavors and techniques that have been embraced by Korean communities worldwide. From the comforting classics of kalguksu to innovative fusion dishes, the book captures the essence of Korean food's global journey. With mouthwatering recipes, captivating stories, and stunning photography, this cookbook invites you to explore the intersections of tradition and innovation, heritage, and adaptation.

Koreaworld is a perfect time capsule of a culture at an exciting inflection point. It brings together some of the most interesting voices in modern Korean food to thoughtfully showcase a constantly evolving community that is not only extremely rooted in heritage, but also such a product of the diverse communities Koreans migrate to.

I love Koreaworld, which offers so much more than recipes. This book is a whirlwind introduction to a whole new world of food and an entirely new perspective on Korean cooking. I want to cook everything, go to Seoul, and eat at all the restaurants. Delicious fun!

I love the way Matt writes - this is an incredibly inspirational look into the world of Korean food.
