I'm half Korean and about to graduate with my master's in public administration and hoping to work in the non-profit field. Love learning, cooking, the environment and traveling. I also dabble in too much sewing and knitting/textile crafts.
My favorite things to cook
Curry from any country, Cambodian but I can't really make it very well. I love cooking Korean food and trying to make new and foreign foods. I also love cooking Italian foods. Quick breads of all sorts and of course homemade jam!
My favorite family cooking traditions
My great grandmother owned an avocado and tangerine ranch so we would fill up our five gallon buckets with them. Thus, I never had a "traditional" Thanksgiving dinner until I met my husband and ate with him (I.E, I never had yam pie, green casserole, etc) because we lived in California and had chips and guacamole before Turkey. Also, living in Oregon for a time and growing up with picking blackberries and making homemade jam.
My cooking triumphs
Learning to make kimchi the traditional way and learning to home can and make homemade jam!
My cooking tragedies
Anything with trying to sweeten baker's chocolate.
