Rachel, my funny sister, deserves full credit for the title of this blog. Should you choose to venture here, you will find my experiments, successes and failures, cooking for one year with only a hot plate and a toaster oven--and of course, with the ingredients that are available in Korea.
Most apartments in Korea are outfitted with just a hotplate (two burners with a gas lighter). And, while It is possible to purchase a counter-top stove, in the spirit of acculturation, I'm going to get creative with what we have.
This might interest you if ...
1. you are a foreigner trying to cook in Korea.
2. you are an avid camper.
3. you get a kick out of my culinary conundrums.
I'll try to post at least one attempt per week.
Bon Appetit!
P.S. there will be very few meat dishes featured here as I am a vegetarian who eats fish and seafood. Rachel now calls me a CAYWAK (carnivore against your will and knowledge)--she coined this term to refer to a person who makes every attempt to avoid meat but is unsuccessful due to cultural ignorance and language barriers.
