About the series:

The Very Asian Guide series was started by award-winning journalist Michelle Li, who started a global movement of unity with the viral hashtag #veryasian after she received a racist voicemail in response to her sharing on-air the Korean foods she eats. The Very Asian series is a celebration of food and culture inspired by this moment.

This book is a celebration of some of my favorite dishes, and I guarantee it will make your mouth water. Phil Yu, author of RISE: A Pop History of Asian America from the Nineties to Now

This is a great, information and fun way to introduce Korean food to kids (and adults) who may not be familiar with Korean cuisine. Michelle has covered and touched on all of my favorites!
