Sáng - by Kenny Son (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Step inside the kitchen of Sáng, the beloved family-run Korean restaurant, and discover 100 recipes that celebrate the bold, diverse and comforting flavors of Korea. From crisp Korean fried chicken (best served with beer) to bubbling kimchi-jjigae, handmade banchan and sweet, chewy desserts, this is homestyle Korean food at its best -- generous, deeply personal, and full of soul.

Written by designer-turned-restaurateur Kenny Son, the book reflects the story of his family and their food. His father, Seung kee, brings clean, city-style dishes from Seoul, while his mother, Jin sun, draws on the hearty, seafood-rich flavours of her native Kwangwon-do province near the North Korean border. With desserts and ferments by Kenny's partner, Youmee Jeon, Sáng captures the full Korean table -- rich in regional nuance, grounded in tradition, and adapted for everyday cooking at home.
