The Korea Society welcomes Marja Vongerichten, star of the new PBS series Kimchi Chonicles and wife of famed chef Jean-Georges, as she cooks and shares recipes from her newly released cookbook, The Kimchi Chronicles: Korean Cooking for an American Kitchen. The cookbook, available at the event, includes a recipe for every dish featured in the documentary as well as original dishes with a lighter, modern flair, revealing how the flavors of the Korean table can be readily integrated into any meal. Marja shares her thoughts on creating and adapting recipes and how The Kimchi Chronicles series inspired her to craft this beautiful new cookbook, which includes mouth-watering photos alongside her observations of Korean culinary culture.

Following Marja’s kitchen demonstration and author talk, guests at this exciting downtown event (Astor Center, 399 Lafayette) sampled her delicious creations and had the opportunity to meet the television host and author at the special signing of her new release. The Korea Society thanks publisher Rodale books for its support of this lovely summer’s evening of cuisine and conversation.
