Best meal I ever ate:

It's not one meal, just my mom making kimbab for me twice a year, when I visit her in Korea or she visits me in NY. It makes me happy.

My current drink of choice:

Drinking raki as a way of pretending I am in Istanbul...

I really wish I could:

be Paula Wolfert

My "Go-to" dinner party dish:

This winter, the seared pork in pasilla-honey sauce from Rick Bayless's "Mexican Kitchen"

My favorite comfort food:

Korean rice cake and dumpling soup

My top 5 favorite restaurants:

I cook more than I eat out, so I'll list my favorite food stores: Sahadi's in Brooklyn, Berkeley Bowl in Berkeley obviously, and the Alemany Farmers' Market in San Francisco

My most tattered cookbooks:

Bittman's "How to Cook Everything," and trying to teach myself from Paula Wolfert, Judy Rodgers, and Molly Stevens
