Recipes or Good Websites?

[Aroob]

My friend's mother (a Korean) told me that it is very hard for a foreigner to cook Korean food... Much less eat most of it since it's very spicy.
Ah well, I can handle the eating department quite well since I love spicy food
As for the cooking, Im stubborn and confident that I can cook anything

Do you have any personal recipes, or a good website in English that has recipes for Korean dishes that I could try out?

I don't know which English-language website is good for looking up some recipes for Korean food, but I know this youtube channel that's really interesting Not very many recipe videos up there yet, but I hope this will be helpful !

I have a cookbook called Korean Cooking Made Easy by Soon Young Chung (Periplus Edutions www.periplus.com). I think you can get it on Amazon. I have made a few things with it, and while I'm sure they're not 100% like the real thing, it's nice that the writer makes substitutions for those of us who can't get all the ingredients easily.

I don't have the motivation or time to try making kimchi, but I made namul (seasoned vegetables), and it's very easy.

Corine,
I haven't seen Aroob here for a while, maybe her subscription ran out.

Thank you for posting those sites. Even with my Korean cookbook, it's so much better to be able to see the preparation demonstrated on video. I don't often see American cooking shows featuring Korean recipes.

Now I'm hungry (배고바 요)

I live by a Korean restaurant and I stalked the chefs for a while and I bugged them until they gave me their recipes.

I was going to recommend Maangchi's site as well, which you can also find just by searching the itunes store. I made 육개장 for my sick wife for the first last week and got the thumbs up, but ended up combining a couple of recipes...Even with the videos, expect to mess it up the first time Oh, and if you're making it for a Korean person, don't put celery in as per Maangchi's recipe!

Everyone does it differently...
