Around the end of January I had a lot of leftover wine, so I held a get-together to work through it. The truth is I buy wine on a regular basis (or, to be precise, I get pressured into buying wine), but I rare…
On the day I flew back from Tokyo, I liked Dominique Saibron’s bread so much that I bought a few pieces in the morning, brought them home, and called a late-night meetup. The breads I bought that mornin…

Those who know me know that I’m seriously picky about Western food, so in Korea I try to stick to Korean food. A friend who knows this about me all too well invited me along, saying he’d found a de…
