Do you love Korean food? Are you the first to try out every Korean eatery that opens here? Do you devour cooking shows like ‘Masterchef Korea’, ‘Chef and my Fridge’, ‘Three Meals A Day’ and Home Food Rescue’? Can you whip up a Korean meal before anyone can say ‘kimchi’?

As I was writing this last night, I remembered the movie that I watched long, long ago- Le Grand Chef. It starred Kim Kang Woo and the food showed in the movie was absolutely exquisite. Kim Rae Won starred in the drama version- ‘Gourmet’ but I did not watch that.
