‘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 imageThrilled to be spotlighted in @Sheerluxe where I delve into the items that have become staples in my kitchen and dining rituals.

I’ve always believed in using quality ingredients, which is why the Isle of Wight tomatoes @iowtomatoes and Jazz apples @jazzappleuk are go-tos for me. For those plant-based moments, @Pulmuone’s tofu and @protempehuk never fail to impress.  And, of course I always have some kimchi in my fridge.  When I do not have time to make my own I will grab a jar of Jongga Kimchi @jongga.official.

The magic, sometimes, is in the seasoning. A splash of Greek and Italian extra virgin olive oil, especially the Manayi @manayioliveoil organic Cypriot olive oil, a sprinkle of @MaldonSalt sea salt crystals, or a dab of Moutarde de Meaux Pommery mustard can transform a dish @MoutardeMeauxPommery.  And, don’t forget the hot sauce– I am known to slather @Tabasco on everything! 

Drink-wise, I enjoy a good green tea, matcha, or Kacchi’s turmeric powder sachet to make Jamu! @kacchilondon
For those indulgent moments, nothing beats a morning cuppa from Difference Coffee (Hawaiian Kona) @DifferenceCoffee. And, in the evenings, a coupe of Billecart Salmon Rosé @champagne_billlecart_salmon Champagne kicks off the night in style.  For the ultimate spirited finish? I love the new tequila in town, Komos Tequila @TequilaKomos.

My snacking favorites – Subarashii Kudamono dried Asian pears @SubarashiiKudamono, macadamia nuts from Carpo @carpoworld, Torres Black Truffle potato chips @PatataFritasTorres potato, and the addictive @TheSkinnyPop popcorn.

For frozen treats 😍 @LittleMoonsMochi – I’m hooked on the coconut ones, @Bibigo for the best dumplings, and @HackneyGelato – I like their Clotted Cream and Strawberry flavor.

London’s culinary scene is vast, but these have truly found a place in my heart and kitchen. Dive deeper into the feature on @Sheerluxe for more details. (link in my bio!)

And, as always, share your favorite staples or recommend new ones!

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageHad an incredible chat over at @Vassar, diving into how our meals often come with stories we’d never expect. 🍽️ 

Ever wonder about the journey of Spam in Korea? It’s a tale of war, luxury, and cultural transformation. Each bite carries a narrative, and it’s amazing how food can connect histories and cultures. 

Shoutout to @MrWesleyDixon for hosting and letting me share these culinary tales.
