I make her recipes and they seem good to me, but I'm not Korean and don't know much about Korean food. She's Korean, isn't she? |

| My Korean SIL gave me her cookbook as a Christmas present a while ago, and adores her. So, based on that I’d say yes. |

I love her. I watch her on YouTube. More than her recipes and her personality (which I adore), what I like is the way she organizes her cooking.
Watching her can give people some great ideas in how to prep, knife work, how to be organized while cooking, how to multi-task and even how to serve and eat the dish. It is never frantic and never too complicated. It really feels like you are in her kitchen and learning how to cook. |

| I've never watched Maangchi's YouTube videos but I love her cookbook, Maangchi's Big Book of Korean Cooking. Everything I've made out of there is superb, and usually pretty easy. From a design standpoint, the cookbook layout is easy to follow, arranged in a manner that is intuitive (by type of dish), and--so important--contain step by step photos to show techniques, etc. |

Why does she call herself Maangchi? That can't be her real name.
Maangchi, pronounced MAHNG-chee and meaning “hammer” in Korean, was the name of her online avatar, who specialized in destruction, wielding a huge scimitar and wearing a tiny miniskirt. Finally, she said, in 2007, her children persuaded her to try a more nourishing form of Internet expression: cooking videos. |
