This e-book is an introduction to authentic, traditional cuisine from one of the most secretive nations in the world. The recipes have been collected from around North Korea. Having decided to learn a language quite different from the French and German he studied at university, James Wilson settled upon Korean. During the course of his studies, he struck up a correspondence with Mr Kong Ik Hyon, who was working for a publisher in Korea. Upon learning that cookery books were very popular, Mr Kong set about collecting a wide variety of recipes. They both worked on the translation, and James organized the book. Many of them are traditional dishes found throughout Korea; but these too have their own special regional characteristics. All are traditional recipes, passed down through the generations.
