Here is a typical workflow: The US and Canadian edition are in imperial cups, ounces (weight and fluid), pounds and inches. I know this will not suit all Canadian readers and I am sorry. However, including both imperial and metric would make the ingredients lists very cluttered, to the point that I felt it compromised readability. So I made the tough decision to include only imperial measurements. The result is a more streamlined design which I really love! Extra virgin olive oil: You need ½ cup EVOO. You can use a medium-intensity oil like our Arbequina California EVOO, or a more robust oil like our Hojiblanca Spanish EVOO.

Straightforward but mouthwatering food made with easily accessible ingredients. But there is no doubt in my mind Dinner would not be what it is if it weren’t for the wonderful messages of support I received from readers as I shared my experience throughout the making of Dinner. You made me strive to do the very best I could. Making “Dinner” was a wonderful experience but also the hardest project I have undertaken in my working life. To say that I underestimated the work involved and the pressure I would put on myself to do the very best I can would be an understatement!The number of recipes mentioned in the cookbook will help you understand if it’s worth investing into or no. It would help if you had a cookbook that gives you the maximum recipes as possible. However, take a glance at the kind of recipes the author has written to understand the quality as well.

Work one piece at a time, keeping the remaining dough covered. Shape the dough roughly into a log, then divide it into five small golf-ball-sized pieces.

Fill a saucepan suitable for deep-frying with vegetable oil. It should be filled deep enough to submerge the dough balls but no more than three-quarters full. Heat to 160°C. If you don’t have a thermometer, a cube of bread should brown in 12 seconds. When it reaches 160°C, turn off the heat and carefully lower a few of the dough balls into the pan, making sure you don’t overcrowd the pan. Keep the heat off for two minutes. After two minutes, the dough will start to move and float a little. The best thing about this book is the pun presented by the author and the way he defines a fine line of similarity between the movie plot and the cooking journey. This is so much fun to read.

After five minutes, your pan should look a little drier than when you started to fry the kimchi. Stir in the soy sauce, ensuring it is completely incorporated, before adding the tomatoes.
