We’re a working couple living in Seoul. On this blog, I (the husband) do the cooking, while my wife’s job is purely to eat – and write about it. I’ve been cooking since I was young, so it naturally became my role in our home.

I’m not a trained chef, but years of cooking for myself and my family have taught me a few tricks of my own along the way. What got me cooking seriously was simply getting tired of store-bought side dishes and eating out too often – I could never quite find the flavor I was actually craving. Wanting to eat healthier played a big part too. So I started making things myself, one dish at a time. What you’ll find here isn’t polished, restaurant-style Korean food – it’s the real, everyday version of what actually ends up on a Korean dinner table.

Most of what I share will be simple, no-fuss Korean dishes you can throw together on a weeknight, with the occasional more involved recipe when I have the time and energy for it. Nothing fancy – just an honest look at how a working couple in Seoul actually eats, and hopefully some useful tips along the way.

I imagine most of you reading this are also busy professionals living somewhere in your own city, juggling work and everything else. I hope these little tips end up being genuinely useful to you.
