Welcome to voting for our February COTM. A tabulation of nominations shows we’ll have something of a Korean shootout this month, choosing from the collected work of Maangchi or Korean American by Eric Kim. Given relatively low recent participation, I’m not particularly inclined to combine them and splinter things among even more sources, but I’m willing to entertain arguments.

Book titles in blue are links to Eat Your Books.

Maangchi Month, including her blog, Maangchi’s Real Korean Cooking, and Maangchi’s Big Book of Korean Cooking

Korean American: Food That Tastes Like Home by Eric Kim

I love Maangchi’s cookbook and recipes. She is pretty traditional in her approach. That being said, I am super excited about Korean American food as presented by Eric Kim and his family’s Americanized recipes. I’ve made a few dishes of his and a ton of hers. And still, I am voting for Eric. Not because Maangchi is less. But because I am just plain excited about Eric’s stuff.

But yeah, this was a HARD decision for me.
