My grandmother is visiting from Seoul.  And straight from Korea, guess what she wants to eat all the way in California?  Predictably, Korean food.

I’m thrilled that she’s here.  She is possibly the best cook ever and I’m not just saying that because she’s my grandmother.  She used to teach cooking classes and has stacks of notebooks of her original recipes.   I have fond memories of visiting her as a child in Korea and following her around the kitchen with a notebook trying to mimic everything she did and writing everything down so that I wouldn’t forget.

She’s promised to teach me how to roll perfect sushi and cook all sorts of Korean banchan while she’s here.  She’s going to help me drum up ideas for catering.
