My latest edition of Frommer's South Korea is out!
.
When I was writing it, I visited the DMZ just when Kim Jong-Il died. It was a strange and historic time to be in Korea. I hope I was able to capture more of the magic of my homeland for you.
It's available from Amazon and fine bookstores worldwide!

Kimchi and Cranberries!
Exciting news! I'm teaching a hands-on cooking class on how to make kimchi on
Saturday, November 12th at 2pm
in the catering kitchen of Jennie Cook at
3048 Fletcher Drive
Los Angeles, CA 90065
(in my hood, Glassell Park, just a couple of doors down from the fire station)
We'll also put on a pot of cranberries so you can take a jar home for your Thanksgiving dinner. Everyone will go home with jars of kimchi, as well. AND if Jennie gets her pressure cooker in time, she'll even do a demonstration on how to can tuna at home (something she picked up from the Master Canners).
Did I mention, I'll also share my family's kimchi stuffing recipe?
Class size is limited (to those we can squeeze into the industrial kitchen), so reserve a spot soon! RSVP with jenniecooks@jenniecooks.com or 323-982-0052. Only $65 pp, which includes all the supplies and trimmings.

For those of you planning a trip to Seoul, here's the perfect thing: A Day by Day Seoul guide from Frommer's! I tried to squeeze in as many maps as possible and there are hundreds of color photos to bring the city to life. I tried to put in all of the secret corners of Seoul that even locals don't know about, including special gastronomic stops, art galleries and tiny boutique shops.
It's available on Amazon.com and where fine books are sold!

My latest cookbook is "Quick and Easy Mexican Cooking." You can order it on Amazon or order it directly from me and I'll send a signed copy.
It has over 80 fast and simple recipes. Actually, I got so excited in writing this book that I sent in 10 too many recipes. So, I had to cut them to make space. It's still chock full of deliciousness with colorful photos by Leigh Beisch. Churros, anyone?

I began a new conceptual photo project the 2011 year -- photographing everything I eat and drink for 365 days! Check it out and follow my blog at http://ayeardevoured.blogspot.com.

The latest edition of my Frommer's South Korea travel guide is out!
For the update, I've combed the countryside to add more little known places like salt farms, Korea's only cheese town (yes, it's true), a farm dedicated to dwenjang, rice paddies that ramble down to the ocean, wild tea fields (vs. the farmed ones in Boseong), herbal markets in the mountains and more!
Plan your trip soon and I hope you get to enjoy my beautiful homeland!

The Canvas Project at the Atlantic Airport!
Each artist was given 5 tiny canvases and 5 random words. We created a "Visual Encyclopedia" of the words. If you're flying through Atlanta, take a look and see if you can guess which images represent what word.
The exhibit was up at the Atlanta Airport Atrium Gallery - July 31st through September 4th
and at the Art House Gallery through September 25th.

I am so happy to be able to share the cover of my latest cookbook, "Quick and Easy Korean Cooking!"
It's filled with delicious and easy recipes that take 30 minutes or less of work time
(I swear! I cooked each and every one of them with a timer!).
Complete with color photos from food photographer Julie Toy and travel photos from me.
It's out now and I hope to come to your neck of the woods to do a signing or cooking class.

Our company, Bright Red Rocket, debuted our latest two DVDs:
"Focus: The Collected Filmstrips of Brian Dewan" and "The Wonderful World of Kittens."
The filmstrip DVD is a work of art! A collection of hand-painted, handmade and wonderfully narrated works by the talented Brian Dewan. The kitten DVD is just that - 45 minutes of unadulterated kittens being cute and hanging out to a fantastically funkadelic score by Brian.

My travel guide, Frommer's South Korea, is now available.
It was probably the most difficult project I've done so far in my life but so worth it to be able to share with you all the wonderful parts of my home country. You can order it from Amazon.com here.
You can also listen to a podcast I did for Frommers.com here.

I was one of 200 artists in an exhibit sponsored by the Haus Gallery to raise money for the people of Darfur.
The exhibit successfully raised over $10,000 (enough to feed more than 60,000 children!).
The HausGuest Exhibit ran from February 24th - March 31th, 2007
@ The Haus Gallery at the Brewery Project and online .
The opening reception was a fabulous bash! Thank you for attending.
