Hi, I’m layuja…

a Korean-American living on the east coast.

I thought it would be fun to share my love (and quite honestly obsession) with food and cooking. A lot of the recipes here are inspired by the Korean dishes I grew up eating—but they also have my mark on them as an American growing up in the states. These dishes are very personal—they’re the product of many years of experimenting in my (humble) kitchen and reflect the different parts of my identity: a mother, the daughter of immigrants and a former night-owl.

I hope you enjoy :)
