I’m so excited to introduce you to The Korean Vegan HOMEMADE: Recipes and Stories from My Kitchen, my new cookbook coming out on October 14. With 100+ recipes, more stories, and an enhanced TKV Pantry section, this book is a tribute to all of the culinary inspirations that have shaped my cooking over the years, and a celebration of the magical connections between family, home, and food.

If you enjoyed my first book or the work we do here on the website, I’d be so grateful if you’d consider preordering a copy of Homemade. Preorders will play a critical role in the early success of the book and, to thank you for your support, I’ve put together an awesome bundle of preorder incentives, including: 10 bonus recipes, the downloadable KV Pantry section (Ch. 1), cooking tutorials and so much more.
