 Lauryn Chun, founder of Mother-in-Law’s Kimchi, launches her new book, The Kimchi Cookbook: 60 Traditional and Modern Ways to Make and Eat Kimchi, at The Korea Society on Wednesday, November 28. A superb introduction to making kimchi, the evening will inspire you to try Chun’s inventive Kimchi-inspired recipes, like Kimchi Oven-Baked Baby Back Ribs, and make many different kinds of kimchi at home. 
<hr id="system-readmore" />
Lauryn, joined by Tara Q. Thomas, Senior Editor for Wine & Spirits, will not only discuss the book but, befitting kimchi’s status as “the champagne of pickles,” will pair different types of kimchi with an appropriate wine. Enjoy a guided tasting, and leave with an appreciation for live-culture foods and an understanding of how to match food with wine!

 Lauryn Chun is the founder of Mother-in-Law's Kimchi, a line of artisan kimchi based on an original recipe from Jang Mo Jip’s Mother-in-Law’s House, her mother’s beloved restaurant established in Garden Grove, California, in 1989. Having worked in her mother’s kitchen as well as the fine-dining and wine industries, Chun’s deep love for food and wine led her from the Rhône Valley to Spain to the hills of Italy, where she worked harvesting grapes. While living in New York City, she recognized the beauty of Korea’s tradition of handcrafted kimchi, which inspired her to launch Mother-in-Law’s Kimchi in 2009. Mother-in-Law’s Kimchi, the first artisan kimchi in the national specialty foods marketplace, is available at fine retailers, natural foods markets, and online at <a href="http://www.MILKimchi.com" target="_blank">www.MILKimchi.com</a>. It has received accolades in the New York Times; Tasting Table; O, the Oprah Magazine; Wall Street Journal; Elle; WNYC; USA Today; Rachel Ray; Real Simple; KCRW; Food & Wine; Bon Apètit; and more, and has been featured on the Cooking Channel’s FoodCrafters. With rave reviews from national media and a loyal fan base, Mother-in-Law’s Kimchi has established a place in the national consciousness by introducing the versatility of a delicious, authentic kimchi to audiences far and wide.
