About
I am a Korean-American painter living in New York city. I started this blog as a food blog, intending to share recipes (often requested by friends, as I am known to be a pretty good cook among my friends) and occasional restaurant reviews. As many of my Korean friends point out, all Koreans are obsessed about food (including me). I love shopping, making, looking at and reading about food, too. Food is my porn. Even my art is about food. Over the years, however, the blog evolved into sharing more of the things that interest me at the moment; classical music (especially opera), theater, books, French language, political and cultural ideas, and of course, food. I am also writing about the exhibitions that I am involved in as well as other exhibition reviews. In the end, I hope that I am showing my engagement as an artist with the society and the culture in general. Hopefully, some of it interests you, too.Social Profiles

Red on Broadway
I saw Alfred Molina as Mark Rothko in the Broadway production of Red a couple of weeks ago. Surprisingly moving portraiture of an artist, and here’s what I thought about it in French. Rouge, une nouvelle production de Donmar Warehouse … Continue reading
Brunch with Taylor at Maialino
Taylor and I had a lunch at Maialino, Danny Meyer’s newest restaurant at Gramercy Park Hotel for Taylor’s birthday. As usual for Danny Meyer’s restaurants, the service was impeccable (knowledgeable, prompt, warm and no attitudes). He really knows how to … Continue reading
Ravioli with herbed zucchini and walnuts
Ben went to the Chelsea Market yesterday and bought some good ricotta cheese ravioli from Buon Italia. I wanted to make something fresh and light to accompany these good ravioli. I decided to use zucchini, and debated whether I should … Continue reading
Manju
Neither Japanese nor Koreans are known for deserts, and I would always go for a killer chocolate cake than one of the rice cake confections, but sometimes chewy manju is just the thing, like after the other night after a … Continue reading
Sweet and sour chicken
Another one of my standby 30 minute dinner idea is Sweet and sour chicken. I add pretty much any vegetable that I have around, but broccoli and red pepper are really nice choices. I always stir-fry the chicken that has … Continue reading
