About the cook

For the past twenty years Miyeong Jeon (전미영) has cooked a long way from where she grew up, and written down everything she made: measurements in the margin, corrections over the top, the odd note about who liked what. The book is that notepad, set down properly and translated, with the original pages reproduced for the recipes that earned it.
