“Hello Everybody”

Introduction (Yenna):
Emily Kim, aka Maangchi, is a Korean-American youtuber and author notable for producing
thousands of cooking videos centered on Korean cuisine. Her channel quickly grew to popularity
because of her upbeat attitude and strict adherence to traditional, homemade Korean recipes. Along
with her youtube career and prompted by her channel’s success, she wrote two best-selling books.
Kim published her first cookbook in 2015, titled Maangchi’s Real Korean Cooking. She even
published Maangchi’s Big Book Of Korean Cooking with co-author Martha Rose Schulman and
publisher Rux Martin in 2019.

(Joelle):
She believes Korean food embodies generosity, innovation, patience, compassion, frugality, practi-
cality, flexibility and resourcefulness. Maangchi tries her best to keep Korean culture alive through
cooking. The best part of her meals are that they are homely and comforting to people of all back-
grounds. As a self-made chef, Maangchi goes with the flow and the history of recipes passed down
from past Korean generations. From Korean lunch boxes named “doshilak” to pasta, Maangchi
never fails to add a Korean twist.
