‘Judy Joo captures the flavors and the heart of Korean food and switches things up just enough to make them accessible and familiar, but not so much that you lose the soul of the recipe. It’s an art!’

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageIt was a huge honor to speak @stanford university at their Korean Food Gone Global conference. I learned so much from the prestigious academic panelists and was so inspired by my co-keynote speaker @suyoung_ryu. Ryu is a prolific actor in K-Dramas / Movies and most recently known for his starring role in Bloodhounds. As his “side gig”, he is passionate about food and has a viral cooking show— he is getting Korean men into the kitchen learning how to cook!  What a feat!  He also focuses on creating simple meals on a budget, accessible to everyone. 
.
At the conference I spoke about my personal journey into the kitchen and the rise of the Korean “Hallyu” wave. 
It was such an honor to share my views and story with the Stanford community.  Thank you for having me. 🙏🙏

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageHad a fabulous time @jonesroadbeauty at their flagship store in NYC @jonesroadbeautyflagship where I got a fabulous makeover for a completely fabulous no-makeup makeup look.  My make up artist @floby1 matched my colors perfectly and i walked out of the store feeling gorgeous!  I am in love with the tinted foundation cream and miracle balm— which I use on my lips and cheeks. So easy. I’m always in a rush so I like that everything can also be applied with your fingers and you don’t have to bother with brushes. 
Thank you Jones Road and @justbobbidotcom for having me!
