Korean cooking

Korea is a land where the past and the present are often found side

by side. Some Koreans live in modern high-rise apartment buildings, while others make their homes in thatched-roof cottages. In the cities, modern skyscrapers shade five-hundred-year-old shrines.

Young people honor their elders, and ancient traditions still have an important place in modern Korean society. One of the traditions that has been passed from generation to generation is a varied cuisine that is both healthy and delicious.
