Kimchi

Bringing the heart and soul of kimchi to your kitchen with a selection of authentic, classic kimchi recipes, plus modern twists for using kimchi in everyday delicious dishes.


Kimchi is a form of storytelling. It carries the memory of a place, a season, a hand. It's a careful balance of salt, time, spice, and care. At its simplest, kimchi is fermented vegetables. But it's so much more than that. It's a method of preservation that goes back centuries, born from necessity and perfected over generations. It reminds us that good things sometimes take time. That transformation happens slowly. That flavour is worth waiting for.

In Korea, kimchi is a part of every meal, every season, and every memory. Jihyun 'Kimmy' Kim grew up surrounded by the scents of garlic, chilli, and fermented vegetables, and watched the women in her family prepare huge batches of kimchi during kimjang each winter. It wasn't just about food - it was about love, sharing, and tradition. This cookbook is a mix of the old and the new, designed to help you feel more connected to the food you make, and more inspired to explore kimchi in your own way.
