Click here An Introduction to Korean Cooking in RecipesThe Korean diaspora is vast: 6.5 million scattered around the globe, from Uzbekistan to Brazil. Just as diasporic Koreans carry a range of food memories from different eras and regions, different communities incorporate local ingredients in different ways, and everyone’s grandmother has her own take on the best everyday kimchi: which vegetables to use, how spicy or fishy it should be, and how long it should ferment. (There are even—yes—Koreans who don’t like kimchi.) In creating this guide, Sonja Swanson set out to include dishes that serve as culinary touchstones—ones that most Koreans would recognize as being, well, Korean. Korean families might quibble with the inclusion of a dish here and there, but if you’re looking to become more familiar or reacquainted with Korean cuisine, the list of dishes described below is a good place to begin. Think of it as a starter pack. Essential Korean Dishes |

An introduction to Korean cooking in recipes
Sourdough dashi scallion pancakes
No images? Click here Sourdough Dashi Scallion PancakesOne of the trickiest parts of maintaining a sourdough starter is figuring out what to do with all that extra unused starter that accumulates as you feed your culture. Sure, you could be reckless and throw it out (it's called "discard," after all). But why not use your starter to make some other delicious carby concoction? Many sourdough-discard recipes fall into two camps: pancakes and crackers. In contrast to the painstaking process of baking a proper loaf, these discard recipes are meant to be quick, simple, and satisfying. Since you’re not relying on slow leavening, the starter is primarily there for its distinctive sour flavor. Here’s one more idea to add to your sourdough-discard recipe card file: a funky take on thin, savory scallion pancakes that requires just a few staple ingredients. These pancakes are crepe-like, crispy on the edges and tender toward the center. They're great for wraps, as a side for roast chicken, or just as a quick snack. More savory pancake stovetop recipes |

You can give all sorts of cocktails the blender treatment, from the Negroni to the Blood and Sand. Keep reading for 15 refreshing recipes that will teach you to love frozen cocktails.
