Title: Japanese-style Korean food
Review: This book has clear (if dated) photos, relatively straightforward recipes (although there are many obvious spelling and grammatical errors), and there's a very helpful section about Korean etiquette and table settings in the back.But it's a strange hybrid: it's a Japanese take on Korean food for the Western palate. The recipes are not exactly authentic, they are filtered through the Japanese worldview of what Westerners want. And it clearly needed to be run through an editor, as some sentences make no sense at all and some of the instructions are far from clear.It's hard to recommend this book for the idiosyncratic recipes, unless you are interested in making Korean food like a Japanese housewife from the 80s.
