Written by designer-turned-restaurateur Kenny Son, the book reflects the story of his family and their food. His father, Seung kee, brings clean, city-style dishes from Seoul, while his mother, Jin sun, draws on the hearty, seafood-rich flavours of her native Kwangwon-do province near the North Korean border. With desserts and ferments by Kenny's partner, Youmee Jeon, Sáng captures the full Korean table -- rich in regional nuance, grounded in tradition, and adapted for everyday cooking at home.
