Welcome

Food has always been a big part of my life. Being born into a rather food-obsessed family, with a mother who took the time to cook everything from scratch, I was constantly surrounded by authentic home-cooked Korean Food as a child. More about Judy

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageI have been a long time fan of @chefjuntanaka food. Real gorgeous flavors, simple in concept, and flawlessly executed. His reopened @theninthlondon (closed temporarily after a fire) is one of the coziest and tastiest meals in London. Excellent sourced seafood and produce make for exceedingly fresh dishes including crudos and tartars seasoned delicately just enough to coax out the fish’s natural sweetness and flavors. The dining room was bustling and every table was full— and I can taste why! The gnudi with wild garlic was exceedingly light and fluffy, the chu toro crudo was buttery, lightly salted and kissed with grassy olive oil, and practically melted on my tongue. The whole baked sea bass with umami filled white miso was wonderfully balanced with tart preserved lemon. I also indulge upon a cracking dessert, Choux au Craquelin— a single mammoth choux bun decadently stuffed with fresh pistachio ice cream (probably the best I have had) and a silky dark chocolate ganache.  Still dreaming of it! 
Thank you @chefjuntanaka @theninthlondon @frasercomms!

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageThank you so much to one of my fave chefs and old friend @marcforgione for taking the time to be featured in my monthly page in @usweekly. We spent a lot of time on the Iron Chef set together back in the day!  Loved hearing about his new restaurant @onefifthnyc — a must go when in New York City. Gorgeous space with even more gorgeous food. Check out @usweekly online for Marc’s awesome recipe for the perfect Spaghetti Vongole. Usmagazine.com

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageSharing this recipe from my appearance on the @todayshow for New Year’s Eve— a fabulous gochujang glazed ham recipe. Perfect for Easter as well! Spicy, sweet, salty and savory—everything that you want in a ham. The best part though is using the leftovers the next day for sandwiches. Recipe is on @todayfood website. HAPPY EASTER everyone! Xx
