**Learn Korean cooking alongside social media star Sarah Ahn as her umma passes down 100+ family recipes and decades' worth of kitchen wisdom!

Sarah's online videos have captivated millions of viewers with their insightful behind-the-scenes peeks at Korean food, home cooking, and multigenerational home life.**

The viral online kitchen collaboration of Sarah Ahn and her mother, Nam Soon, is now a must-have cookbook that blends the emotional intimacy of Crying in H Mart with practical cooking advice based on Nam Soon's decades of experience as a skilled home cook and restaurant owner, backed by the rigorous recipe-testing power of America's Test Kitchen.
More than 100 recipes are framed by mother-daughter conversations that are funny, touching, profound—and universally relatable. Inside you'll also find:

  • Ingredient selection and produce guide: Get in-depth guidance on what to look for when shopping, whether at a Korean market, Costco, or Trader Joe's, or online, as well as how to select and prep produce and other essential ingredients.
  • Technique how-to's: Nam Soon's decades worth of experience are invaluable in explaining how Korean cooking techniques adapt to the American kitchen.
  • Heritage recipes plus Umma's original dishes: You'll learn to make everything from the simplest banchan (Marinated Avocado) or trendy midnight snack (Sandwich Hotteok) to lovingly swaddled, long-fermented whole-head cabbage kimchi to inventive desserts (Korean Lunchbox Cake). You'll even get the the secret recipe from Sarah's uncle (a professional baker) for Milk Cream Doughnuts.
  • Kitchen wisdom direct from mother to daughter: Shared secrets and advice open a window onto a level of family intimacy rarely seen in cookbooks.

Pull up a seat at their kitchen table as mother and daughter share the secrets to fermenting Pogi Kimchi while confiding family revelations, debate the best way to simmer Galbitang while explaining how a great soup heals generational conflicts, trade insights on buying ingredients in between bites of Seoul-Style Bulgogi, and agree that using leftovers is always the best way to make Bibimbap.
Sarah Ahn understands that when generations come together in the kitchen, so much is shared: food and cooking techniques, but also wisdom, advice, family history, and love.
