Hello!
My name is Elisabeth and I was adopted from Seoul when I was 4 months old (I’m almost 22 now…). I know nothing about Korean culture/food which always made me sad b/c of how much I LOVE food… needless to say, I LOVE this website!!
Hi, Elisabeth
wow.. nice to meet you !!! It’s amazing that you love Korean food even you weren’t grown in Korea. That shows that you are a Korean. hehe.. Hope to see you more often here. Thanks !!!

Hi Aeri~
Please don’t worry about making videos and updating your blog, just take care of yourself and the baby. 
I recently found out about your pregnancy. I hope you’re feeling much better now.
Hopefully in the future, you can post up pictures of your baby on your blog. Babies are so adorable~
Take care!
Hi, 은혜

Have a great week !!!

Hi, my friend arleen.
Are you having a great time ???
Oh~~~ when will you come back ?? I already miss you…hehe I hope you will have fantastic time with your family and make lots of good memory…. and come back safely.
반갑습니다. 외국인 동료가 김밥 만드는 법을 알고 싶다고 해서 YouTube에서 찾다가 올려놓은 강좌 동영상을 보게 되었습니다. 너무 쉽게 잘 만드셔서 요리 초보자인 저도 쉽게 이해할수 있었습니다.
외국인 친구들에게 한국 음식을 소개하거나 만드는 법을 알려 줄때 좋은 자료가 될것 같습니다. 앞으로 자주 이용해야 할것 같네요. ^^;
Hi, jazzplay
와..반갑습니다 ^^
도움이 조금이라도 돼었다니 기뿌네요.
외국인 동료가 제 김밥 레서피를 입맛에 맞아 하셨음 좋겠네요. 네..한국 음식.. 동료분들에게 많이 많이 퍼뜨려 주세요..히..
자주뵈요~~~
Hi Aeri,
Congratulations on your good news. I hope you enjoy the time (off) until your baby is born. Eat healthy and lots more, and have enough rest.
I found your website through youtube. I visit your website a lot as I found all the recipes are simple and easy to follow. Thank you for sharing.
I like Korean food when I visited Korea years ago. I can’t get enough of it. I’m planning to visit Busan and Gyeongju this trip. I want to visit Bulguksa temple. I wonder if I can travel by myself if I don’t speak Korean but English.
Hi, Pat

Anyhow, i saw your forum now start teaching Korean lesson and im interesting (may be im your first student huh!!) ….. let’s keep in touch ^_^
Appreciated for your helps!!! Thanks again…
Ps. Tanya and tanya cho is the same person
pps. nice to be your friend
Hi, tanyacho
I do think your friends and family will surprise about your Korean food..hehe
good luck ~~~~ yep.. let me know the result please…
One thing I want to tell you..
if you make one or 2 Korean food..that’s better..but if you make more than that.. consider your time before you plan the meal.. since Korean food takes longer than what you think to make..
Oh.. yes.. I really want to teach Korean lesson… just I wish I can handle all these better.. maybe soon I will feel better and have more time to spend on it..okay ??
thanks !!!
happy to be your friend too..
p.s so you are a Korean ??

Hello Aeri…. ^_^
Can you help me?….next month is my daughter birthday what kind of korean food I should prepare for the party … anyway thank you for your delicious menu my husband love it…
Hi, tanyacho
Oh.. congratulations on her birthday.
My question is… whom will be the most guests ?? they will be kids ?? (your daughter’s friends??) or adults ??
To be safe..I will say mix some spicy food and not spicy food. Of course you can add one of your husband favorite Korean food there to make him happy..hehe
here is my list for you :
not spicy ones :
1. jeon (Korean style pancakes – pick one of these 3) – Garlic Chive Pancakes, Crab Stick Jeon, Hobak 1.Jeon
2. Kimbap
3. bulgogi
4. Tangsooyuk
5. Meatball
6. Fried dumplings ( just make it before birthday..and freeze..and you can fry on her birthday..^^)
7. japchae
8. YuBu ChoBap (very simple…but can be risky since it’s kind of sushi type food.. )
spicy food:
1. TteokBokKi
2. Mini Fried Chicken
3. DdeokGgoChi
4. Fried Pork
There are my recommendation for party menu.. haha..of course I didn’t mean you have to have these all.. ^^ Here is the link for picture index..
