Who am I ?
I am a Brissie girl who lives in south east Queensland Australia. I am married to the love of my life Mr J. (We got married this year !) I have spend more then 6 years in Korea. I first went to live in Korea in 2002 and started a serious addiction to chili. I speak Korean and LOVE to cook. I have spent a year in Jeon Ju (전주) surrounded by some of the best cooks in Korea( my next door neighbors).I decided to start this blog because I LOVE food and several of my friends have asked for recipes or how to cook Korean food. I would love to have my own Korean restaurant one day. I would like to share my interest in Korean food and in food generally. I want to make it easy and accessible to everyone.
In my day job I am educationist.
What does Hanok mean ?
| Korean | 한옥 |
|---|---|
Hanok is a Korean word that refers to Korean traditional architecture and houses. While living in Korea I was enchanted by the beautiful Hanok villages in Andong (안동) and Jeon Ju (전주). I wanted to use traditional Korean recipes that I think really represent Korean food that is cooked in the home. Though I also enjoy making fushion food. Hanok House is a name that reminds me of the good experiences I had in Korea and the food that I like to cook at home. So I decided to call my blog Hanok House.
