Into the book
“Food and wine have always been at the center of my life.
As a food director, I've worked with many chefs and realized the importance of wine pairing as much as the details of the dish.
Just as good ingredients are essential to creating a good meal, choosing the right wine for the dish is also key to completing the dish's flavor.
The harmony of food and wine maximizes the unique flavors of each, giving us a new dimension of experience.

One thing I've always struggled with while running a wine bar is finding wine pairings that match our country's ingredients and cooking methods.
Existing food and wine pairing guides don't cover Korean ingredients like shrimp paste, sesame oil, and gochujang, so I felt limited in their applicability in various situations.
So, I planned and prepared this book together with my wine mentor, Eunju Baek.

This book is my fourth writing project, but it has been the most challenging.
We designed the menu to be simple and easy to cook with readily available ingredients, while allowing readers to freely adapt the recipes.
Through discussions with co-author Eunju Baek at each stage, we developed menus based on ingredients, sauces, and cooking methods that fit the style of the wine.
It was a difficult process, but the joy of finding the ideal pairing was incomparable.
I hope that through this book, readers will experience not only the joy of cooking, but also the deep happiness that comes from the combination of food and wine.”
-Jeong Rina (Food Director)

“When pairing food and wine, of course the food must taste good, but the most important thing is the taste that is completed when paired with the wine.
A menu paired with wine should be ready to make room for the wine from the start.
So, the content of this book starts with a systematic approach to menus that go well with wine.

While writing the book, I thought of pairing as being like a diary.
Although they both describe what happened that day, no two people can write the same thing.
When you write a diary, you enter not only the facts of everyday life but also the inner wanderings of your own consciousness.
As you experiment with pairings, you'll embark on a journey to discover your own tastes: your eating and drinking habits, your favorite and least favorite flavor combinations, your taste memories that transport you back in time, and even your favorite and least favorite scents.
I sincerely hope that through this book, many people will discover patterns that suit their tastes and, through them, encounter enriching moments in their daily lives.”
-Baek Eun-ju (wine educator)
